Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The TVS Ronin motorcycle was reportedly chosen because its name means 'masterless samurai'—fitting for a Western hitman in existential freefall.
Nowshad's casting of inanimate objects with full character credits places this in the lineage of Indian experimental cinema's obsession with object-as-identity, while the Western genre trappings nod to globalized Bollywood's fascination with American archetypes.
