Trivia
- The film's title is a reference to a line from the 2004 Hollywood film 'The Machinist', which also deals with a troubled protagonist.
- Director Kapish Rishi reportedly had the lead actor undergo a strict physical and psychological preparation regimen for two months.
- A key chase sequence was filmed in the less-filmed industrial areas of Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, over 12 nights.
- The film's original score uses a modified version of a rare, traditional Indian instrument called the 'pungi', typically associated with snake charmers.
- Early promotional teasers for the movie did not reveal the hitman's face, focusing only on his hands and silhouette to build mystery.
- The project was briefly shelved in 2023 due to funding issues before a major studio picked it up for production.
- A subplot involving a corrupt politician was inspired by real-life news headlines from the early 2020s.
