Trivia

• The film was shot in a real Rajasthani village with no electricity, so the crew relied on solar power and generators.
• The child actors were all local kids who had never seen a film camera before the shoot.
• The cricket bat used by Ali was the same one the director played with as a child in his hometown.
• A sudden sandstorm destroyed part of the set, and the crew decided to include it in the final film.
• The movie's title 'Ali Ali' comes from a traditional Rajasthani folk chant often heard during local games.
• To capture authentic reactions, the director often didn't tell the children when the camera was rolling.
• The film's budget was so small that many crew members worked for free, sharing homemade meals on set.
