→Trivia
- The film's title 'UT 69' refers to the specific cell number where Raj Kundra was held in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail.
- Actor Raj Kundra plays himself in the film, making it a rare instance of a real-life figure portraying their own controversial story in a Hindi movie.
- The film was shot in a tight schedule of 15 days, mirroring the urgency and compressed timeline of the real-life events it depicts.
- Director Shanawaz Ali stated the film aims to show the human side of the story, focusing on Kundra's 63 days in judicial custody.
- The movie's promotional material highlighted it was based on 'true incidents', avoiding the term 'biopic' which carries legal implications in India.
- It was released directly on an OTT platform, bypassing a theatrical release, which is uncommon for films centered on high-profile figures.
- The film's narrative is presented from Raj Kundra's first-person perspective, a stylistic choice to immerse the viewer in his experience.
