→Trivia
- The film is one of the first Hindi Westerns to be shot entirely in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan.
- Director Sheikh Zaid Bin Naseer is a debutant filmmaker who previously worked as a cinematographer for short films.
- The movie's title is a stylised reference, not directly about the historical political figure.
- It features a soundtrack using traditional Rajasthani folk instruments like the khartal and morchang.
- Principal photography was completed in under 40 days to capture specific desert light conditions.
- The production faced challenges with filming in extreme heat, with temperatures often exceeding 45°C (113°F).
- The story draws inspiration from local folklore about 'bhootas' (spirits) said to inhabit the desert.
