Trivia:
Vidya Balan prepared for her role by interacting with pregnant women and gynecologists. She learned about the difficulties faced by women during pregnancy and also the superstitions followed by some of them.

Saswata Chatterjee who plays Bob in the film went to see the movie with his wife, who would close her eyes whenever he appeared on screen because he was too evil in the film.

Though Bob uses a mobile phone in the movie, the actor who portrays him, Saswata Chatterjee does not own a mobile phoone.
