TRIVIA

Trivia

On 2 March 2006, a five-hour long puja (prayer) was performed for the success of the film. The puja was conducted by 16 Pundits, and occurred on the banks of the River Ganges at the holy Dasashwamedh Ghat. It was attended by the film's producer and writer L.C. Singh and director Pankaj Parashar. The next day, another puja was performed inside the Vishwanath Temple.

Early in the movie, Babaji changes Soham's name from Sohan (a fairly common name that means "handsome") to Soham. Soham has been called the universal mantra, and translates "I am that". Babaji later teaches Soham from the Upanishads about "Tat tvam asi" ("Thou art that") a major principle of Vedantic Hinduism.

The film did not have a theatrical release in British Columbia, Canada.

The film was previously titled "Vanarasi".
