Trivia
- The film is an official Hindi remake of the 2022 Malayalam movie 'Mukundan Unni Associates', which was also directed by Rosshan Andrrews.
- This marks the first collaboration between actor Shahid Kapoor and director Rosshan Andrrews, bringing a Malayalam filmmaker's style to a big Hindi star vehicle.
- The movie's plot of a cop with amnesia reinvestigating his own case is a rare premise in mainstream Hindi cinema, more common in South Indian thrillers.
- Principal photography took place extensively in Mumbai, with key scenes shot at real police stations to add authenticity to the crime thriller setting.
- The character name 'Dev Ambre' is a subtle nod, as 'Ambre' is a surname rarely used for lead heroes in Bollywood, giving the character a distinct identity.
- The film's production wrapped in a relatively short schedule, aiming for a quick turnaround from shoot to release to maintain a contemporary feel.
- While a 2025 release, promotional materials highlighted its roots as a remake, drawing attention from fans of the original Malayalam film's dark humour.
