- The scene around the car bomb that goes off at about 2h 14m in the movie is similar to the scene in Mario Puzo's "The Sicilian" where Michael's wife gets killed.
- According to the film's co-writer Anjum Rajabali, this film is hugely influenced by the epic story from the Indian mythology the "Mahabharat", and is set in the milieu of contemporary electoral politics. So the films characters are going to have the similar dilemmas and experiences drawn from the story of Mahabharat.
