→Trivia
- The film was a remake of the 1999 Tamil movie 'Suyamvaram', which itself was inspired by the 1994 Hollywood film 'The Quick and the Dead'.
- This was the first and only time actor Mahesh Babu played a full-fledged dual role in his career up to that point.
- The movie's climax was shot in the rocky terrains of Rajasthan to create a grand visual scale for the western setting.
- Director Jayant Paranji initially considered a different actor for the villain role before finalizing Prakash Raj.
- The film underperformed at the box office, which temporarily affected Mahesh Babu's choice of action-oriented scripts.
- A special horse-riding trainer was brought on set to coach Mahesh Babu for his cowboy-style stunts.
- The soundtrack by composer Mani Sharma included a folk-inspired song that became popular in rural areas despite the film's overall reception.
