Trivia
- The film was shot in just 21 days on a tight budget, using minimal locations to focus on dialogue and performance.
- Director Hyder Kazmi also co-wrote the screenplay, drawing from historical records and Godse's own court statements.
- The actor playing Nathuram Godse, Abhishek Singh, reportedly isolated himself during filming to get into the character's mindset.
- It was one of the few Indian films in 2023 to directly depict Godse's perspective, leading to cautious marketing to avoid controversy.
- The courtroom scenes were filmed in a real heritage building in Bhopal to add authenticity to the period setting.
- The film's title is a direct translation of the Hindi phrase 'Main Bapu Ko Maara', which is a provocative and rarely used cinematic reference.
- Despite its historical subject, the movie had a very limited theatrical release and primarily reached audiences through streaming platforms.
