[5] Verma revealed that during his time as a junior artist on the set of Super 30, where he earned ₹800 rupees per day, he learned extensively from observing others.

Inspired by the experience of working alongside 200 people daily, he resolved that his future lay in pursuing greater achievements in cinema rather than continuing in his current role for an extended period.

[7] Sana Farzeen of India Today wrote, "Given his age and lack of experience, Abhay Verma tries to give an honest performance", adding that he "falter[s] when it comes to acing the body language, and also overacts in a few emotional moments".

The fourth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, the film was inspired by Indian folklore and mythology, focusing on the legend of munjya.
