Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title translates to 'Johnny the Traitor,' directly referencing Dev Anand's 1973 film 'Johnny Mera Naam'—a favorite of Sriram Raghavan.
Raghavan made the cast watch 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Parwana' (1971) together; the latter's title song becomes Vikram's haunting psychological trigger.
