Vikas Bahl said, that they didn't have the budget to shoot elaborate sequences or stay put at one location for long. "We were just 25 people from India for the shoot. We would book a place for a couple of hours, then rush to another location. We would eat at the nearest hotel where we were shooting, and at times Kangana would change her clothes in public toilets! We shot in about 145 locations in 40 days."
The film was a surprising hit, despite only having one recognizable star in Kangana Ranaut, and barely any marketing.
Kangana Ranaut won the Best Actress Award at the National Film Awards for her portrayal of Rani Mehra.
It is the highest honour for any actor in the country.
