The film is distinctive for featuring real inventions by little-known people in India's backyards.
The brains behind the innovations were Remya Jose, a student from Kerala, who created the exercise-bicycle/washing-machine; Mohammad Idris, a barber from Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh, who invented a bicycle-powered horse clipper; and Jahangir Painter, a painter from Maharashtra, who made the scooter-powered flour mill.[5]
This film was remade in Tamil as Nanban(2012) which also received critical praise and commercial success.[6][7] It has also been announced that there will be a Chinese remake of the film produced by Stephen Chow and that there are plans for a Hollywood remake produced in the United States.[8] A Telugu remake was planned despite Nanban having a Telugu dubbed version titled Snehitudu.
