The film was in the news when Prashant Narayanan refused to shoot for the film when he saw actor Manmauji show up on the sets wearing Anna Hazare's get up. Prashant argued that theatre actor Prasanna Sathe was signed for the role originally and Manmauji was a C grade who would ruin the film. Manish Gupta and Prashant argued until Prashant stormed off and refused to shoot. Manish argued that Manmauji looked just like Anna Hazare and was best for the role.
The film was originally titled "Main Anna Nahin".
