→Trivia
- The film's title 'Khiladi' is a nod to Akshay Kumar's famous action film series from the 1990s, but this 2023 movie is a separate story.
- It was shot primarily in Uttar Pradesh, India, using real locations to create a grounded, small-town atmosphere.
- Director Ananjay Raghuraj had previously worked mostly in regional cinema before making this Hindi film debut.
- The movie faced delays in its release schedule, partly due to changes in the production company's plans.
- A key action sequence in the film was choreographed by a stunt team known for working on South Indian action dramas.
- The soundtrack includes a folk-inspired song that was recorded with local musicians from the filming region.
- Despite the title suggesting a high-action plot, the story heavily focuses on romantic and family drama elements.
