Trivia
- The film's title character is named after a real-life police officer from Maharashtra who was known for his integrity.
- Director Chinmay Mandlekar, primarily known as an actor, chose this project for his directorial debut in Hindi cinema.
- The antagonist's full name, Carl Bhojraj, combines a Western first name with a traditional Indian surname, hinting at a mixed background.
- Parts of the movie were shot in rarely-filmed locations in Mumbai, like the Sewri mudflats, to create a distinctive visual tone.
- The screenplay was workshopped at a writers' lab in 2023, which is uncommon for a mainstream Hindi commercial film.
- A key chase sequence pays homage to a famous scene from the 1975 Hindi film 'Sholay', but using modern Mumbai's metro system.
- The film's promotional campaign involved interactive social media puzzles that mirrored the killer's clues in the story.
