→Trivia
- The film's title 'Automagic' is a play on words, blending 'auto' (referring to the auto-rickshaw) and 'magic' to hint at the unexpected journey.
- Director Ashok Vish reportedly drew inspiration from real-life stories of pilgrims and rickshaw drivers in Varanasi for the film's setting.
- The lead actor playing Madhu underwent a month of workshops to portray the androgynous character with subtlety and sensitivity.
- To prepare for his role, the actor playing Ratnakar spent time with actual auto-rickshaw drivers in Mumbai to learn their mannerisms.
- The film's soundtrack features a rare fusion of classical Indian instruments with electronic music to mirror the story's modern yet spiritual themes.
- Despite its 2025 release, the movie was shot in a documentary-like style using mostly natural light to create a raw, realistic feel.
- A minor controversy arose during filming when local religious groups questioned the depiction of celibacy, leading to script adjustments.
