The movie was a tribute by Amitabh Bachchan to the angry young man image from his earlier film career.
Amitabh Bachchan was attending a concert in In New York prior to starting this project. In the evening he went out to eat in restaurant and was impressed with the restaurant performer's music, so asked him to burn a CD of his music. While listening to the CD, he liked a particular beat and decided that this particular music could be used for his Go Meera track.
'Puri Jagannath' was a huge fan of Amitabh Bachchan and wanted to make a film with him. He approached his mentor Ram Gopal Verma who arranged a meeting, where Amitabh was very impressed with the script and signed on instantly.
Amitabh Bachchan was uncomfortable with using profanity in his dialog so the Director suggested that where such a foul word needed to be used it was replaced with the word 'beep'.
