Trivia
- The film was shot entirely in Hyderabad, using real locations like crowded markets and bus stands to add authenticity.
- Director Divya Bandaru studied Robert Bresson's 1959 French film 'Pickpocket' closely before making this tribute.
- It was produced on a very low budget, with many crew members working on it as a passion project.
- The lead actor, Surya Vashistha, had no prior professional acting experience before being cast as Devi.
- Some scenes feature real-life former pickpockets as extras to make the theft scenes look more realistic.
- The film's soundtrack uses minimal background music, focusing instead on natural sounds from the streets.
- Despite being a crime drama, it avoids violent scenes and focuses more on the characters' emotions and struggles.
