• The last courtroom scene where SRK reads out the poem 'Main qaidi number 786' was shot in a single take and was okayed in the first take itself. No retakes were taken for that scene.

• Veer's prisoner number is 786, which Saamiya sees as a good omen. According to the Arabic language system, which assigns numerical values to each letter, the number 786 is the numerical value of the phrase "Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim" ("In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful"), the first verse in the Qur'an.
