Trivia
- The film's director Manoj Tiwari is better known as a popular Bhojpuri actor and singer, not a filmmaker.
- The movie was shot in real locations across Uttar Pradesh, including Varanasi, to capture the authentic feel of a spiritual hub.
- Despite being a thriller about a fake godman, the film had a very limited theatrical release and flew under the radar.
- Actor Anupam Kher was initially considered for a key role, but the final cast featured lesser-known performers.
- The story draws loose inspiration from several real-life Indian 'baba' scandals that made headlines in the 2010s.
- The film's promotional strategy heavily relied on Manoj Tiwari's existing fanbase from the Bhojpuri music industry.
- It was one of the few Hindi films released that year to directly tackle the theme of religious hypocrisy and corruption.
