Continuity
The blood stain on David's shirt is spread out when he is fighting inside a building. When he comes out, the stain is not spread out and appears dark. And in the next shot, there is a new blood stain on his belly over the shirt.
Miscellaneous
The antagonist shows a view of his arms factory in an LCD monitor. This is a contradiction as the film was set in a period where LCD monitors and cameras didn't exist.

Though he was urged by the stunt master to use a double for one of the difficult stunt scenes, Ajith insisted he do the scene himself.
Since this film is a prequel, director Chakri Toleti made use of the kind of apparel that was used in the year 2000.
While shooting in Georgia, a group of 20 to 25 Tamil students unfailingly followed the Billa 2 team at every location, just to catch the cast and crew in action. Overwhelmed by this, on the last day of the shoot, Ajith Kumar invited them over to his hotel lobby to spend quality time with them.
