Mahesh Bhatt changed the climax of the film just a day before it was shot. [2] Bhatt himself was struggling with alcoholism while shooting this well-received film. [3] [4]

A theatrical adaptation of Daddy, directed by Dinesh Gautam, was first staged in 2015 with Imran Zahid in the lead role. [2] It was a rare Indian production staged at an international theatre festival in Pakistan in 2015, although the staging was delayed because of visa hassles. [5] [6]
