The film is a remake of Bollywood blockbuster Malamaal Weekly directed by Priyadarshan, which in turn is inspired by the Hollywood film Waking Ned (1998).
Scenes from the 1998 film Waking Ned were filmed in and around Cregneash although it was supposedly set in an Irish village.
The film was shot on the Isle of Man, with the village of Cregneash standing in for the fictional Irish village of Tulaigh Mhór.
