Trivia

Album

• The film premiered at the Mumbai Film Festival in August 2016. It was released in theatres in March 2017. Its music was released the same month.
• This was writer Amit Joshi's debut Hindi film. Joshi had left his corporate job to take screenwriting as a profession and approached director Vikramaditya Motwane with his idea for the film at the Phantom Films office. Motwane liked the idea and asked him to send the script. Joshi's timing was fortuitous - the filmmaker was looking for ideas to make a film since two other films he had been working on at the time had stalled. Joshi worked with Motwane and his co-writer Hardik Mehta over the next few months to finalise the script.[1]
• The film highlighted Rajkummar Rao's commitment to realism. In order to get into character, the actor consumed only coffee and carrots for the 20 days the film was shot over. The actor played a man locked into his apartment with no food. Rao even gave his own blood for a scene in the film since "it wouldn't have looked real" otherwise.[2][3]
