Trivia
- The film's title 'Chup' is a nod to Guru Dutt's 1959 classic 'Kaagaz Ke Phool', where the director's character famously says, 'Mujhse mat poocho mere baare mein, chup raho.'
- Director R. Balki shot the film in just 35 days, using a tight schedule to maintain a tense, thriller-like atmosphere on set.
- Sunny Deol's character, ACP Arvind Mathur, marks his first role as a police officer in over two decades, since 1993's 'Darr'.
- The killer in the film uses a unique weapon: a film reel cutter, linking the murders directly to cinema and criticism.
- Real-life film critics like Rajeev Masand and Sucharita Tyagi make cameo appearances as themselves in the movie.
- The film's soundtrack includes a recreated version of the classic song 'Chup Gaye Sare Nazare' from 'Dil Hi To Hai' (1963).
- Parts of the movie were filmed at actual Mumbai film studios and single-screen theatres to capture authentic cinematic nostalgia.
