Trivia
- The film is based on the true story of Dashrath Manjhi, who actually carved a path through a mountain in Bihar over 22 years.
- Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who played Manjhi, reportedly lost a significant amount of weight to portray the character's later years.
- The film's director, Ketan Mehta, had initially considered casting a bigger star but felt Nawazuddin was perfect for the role.
- Parts of the movie were shot in the rocky terrain of Rajasthan to recreate the Gehlour hills of Bihar.
- The real mountain path carved by Manjhi reduced travel distance between two villages from 55 km to just 15 km.
- The film's soundtrack includes a folk song by Indian Ocean, a band known for their fusion music.
- Despite critical praise, the movie had a limited theatrical release and performed modestly at the box office.
