→Trivia
- The film's director Bhagyesh Rajeshirke is a first-time feature filmmaker who previously directed award-winning short films.
- The fire extinguisher prop was custom-made from lightweight materials to allow for expressive movement by puppeteers.
- The movie's original Hindi title, 'Mujhe Laal Rang Se Paint Kiya Gaya Tha', translates directly to 'I Was Painted With Red Color'.
- Principal photography took place entirely in Pune, India, using miniature sets to create the high-rise building scenes.
- The film's sound design uses human voice actors for the extinguisher's internal monologue, not synthetic audio.
- It was shot over a very tight 18-day schedule to manage the complex stop-motion and live-action hybrid techniques.
- The project was partially funded through a grant from India's National Film Development Corporation (NFDC).
