Trivia

Album

• This was the debut Hindi film of its lead actor Sachin J. Joshi. It was the only Hindi film of the South African model Candice Boucher.
• The film ran into trouble with the Censor Board for dialogues in it which blamed China for conspiring against India. When a character in the film says "Hindustan ki barbadi se sabse zyada faayda kise hoga?", another character replies "China ka". Based on the Censor Board's objection, the filmmakers had to mute the response which mentioned China. Additionally, the Board gave the film an 'A' certificate, clearing it to be viewed only by adults.[1][2]
• Samajwadi Party leader Farooq Ghoshi objected to the title of this film. According to him, the film's title had sacred meaning for Muslims and shouldn't have been used for a film that dealt with the subject of terrorism, and that had been certified 'A' by the Censor Board. In a bid to pressure the filmmakers into changing the title, threats of criminal proceedings and screening disruptions were made. However, the film was finally released with the same title.[3][4]
