Trivia
- The film is an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Othello', set in the badlands of Uttar Pradesh.
- Vishal Bhardwaj originally wanted Naseeruddin Shah to play Langda Tyagi, but Saif Ali Khan insisted on the role.
- The song 'Namak' was filmed in a single continuous shot, which was a technical challenge for the crew.
- The film's dialogues were written in a rustic dialect to sound authentic to the region.
- Kareena Kapoor, who played Dolly, was paid only a token amount as she was keen to work with Vishal Bhardwaj.
- The character names are direct translations from 'Othello', like Omkara for Othello and Langda for Iago.
- The film was shot in real locations in Lucknow and surrounding areas to capture the local atmosphere.
