Trivia

  • The film's title 'Bala' is also the name of a popular fairness cream brand in India, adding a layer of irony to the story about societal beauty standards.
  • Ayushmann Khurrana had to undergo a three-hour daily makeup process to create his bald look, which involved a prosthetic scalp glued to his head.
  • The film was originally offered to Shah Rukh Khan, but the project evolved and was later developed with Ayushmann Khurrana in mind.
  • A real-life couple, Abhishek Banerjee and Ananya Khare, who play husband and wife in the film, are married in real life as well.
  • The song 'Don't Be Shy' was not originally planned and was added after test audiences felt the film needed a more upbeat track.
  • The film subtly references the 1994 movie 'Andaz Apna Apna' through a dialogue about 'Teja Main Hoon, Mark Idhar Hai'.
  • Director Amar Kaushik made his feature film debut with 'Stree' in 2018, and 'Bala' was his second consecutive hit comedy.
