→Trivia
- The film's title 'McGuffin' is a direct nod to Alfred Hitchcock's term for a plot device that drives the story.
- Director Rohit Arora reportedly studied classic film noirs from the 1940s to design the movie's visual style.
- Lead actor Vicky Kaushal prepared for his role by spending time with real private investigators in Mumbai.
- The entire film was shot on location in Old Delhi to create a gritty, authentic atmosphere.
- A minor subplot involving a missing book is a subtle reference to the classic Hindi film 'Gumnaam' (1965).
- The movie's climax was reshot three times to achieve the perfect ambiguous ending.
- It was originally planned as a web series before being condensed into a single feature film.
