The film was made with the intention of delivering a fresh, suspense-horror thriller rooted in an urban setting, rather than the usual supernatural tropes. Its narrative revolves around the apathy of everyday technology and how a new apartment (13B) and a TV soap might mirror a family’s life in eerie ways.
The director Vikram Kumar assembled a technically strong crew (cinematography by P.C. Sreeram, editing by Sreekar Prasad) to give the film a polished look and to heighten the tension.

कुल परिणाम: तमिल में हिट, हिंदी में औसत प्रदर्शन
A significant portion of the movie takes place inside an apartment building, and for that the filmmakers built an elaborate set in Egmore (Chennai) to replicate apartment interiors realistically.
It was simultaneously shot in Tamil and Hindi, which is not always common for this genre of film.
The concept of a TV serial mirroring real life and the flat number “13B” added a distinctive twist to the horror genre in Indian cinema.
Critics praised the cinematography and editing — for example, the review in Times of India noted “some zippy cinematography, a stylised monochrome tint and some snazzy editing.”
Exact number of shooting days: Not widely published in credible sources.
Filming Locations: Predominantly in India (Chennai for set-construction, apartments) and possibly some interiors in Mumbai; no major mention of extensive foreign locations. Moviebuff.com+1
