Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Devta: The Superhero' but was shortened to just 'Devta' for release.
- It was one of the few 1990s action films shot extensively in Nepal, not just for song sequences.
- Director Jagdish A. Sharma was better known as a producer and distributor; this was one of his rare directorial ventures.
- The movie's climax features a dramatic fight scene in a temple, a common trope in Sharma's other produced films.
- Despite starring Mithun Chakraborty, a major star, the film had a very limited theatrical run and low publicity.
- The soundtrack, composed by Anand-Milind, included a song sung by Kumar Sanu that did not become popular.
- The plot twist involving inspector Rakesh's secret is reminiscent of 1970s Hindi revenge dramas, a style the director favored.
