Production The film was noted for featuring a cast from Bollywood. Although it was speculated that Nagma and Ravi Kishan (both of whom featured in Ganga)'s rumored relationship meant that Nagma was not cast, the director dismissed the rumor saying that he might show their characters being shifted to London. Mithun Chakraborty was initially cast as Bhumika Chawla's brother in the film. If Chakraborty was cast, it would mark his reunion with Bachchan since Agneepath (1990). Unlike Ganga in which Manoj Tiwari did not have a pair, he is paired opposite Bhumika Chawla in this film. This film would mark one of the last high-key Bhojpuri films to feature Amitabh Bachchan, who later acted in Ganga Devi (2012) co-starring Nirahua and Jaya Bachchan.
Soundtrack Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were present at the film's audio launch.
Release Despite making the film in Bhojpuri, the director opted for a release of the Hindi dubbed version instead of releasing the original version.
