The original dialogue was based on Manoj's character: “Mumbai ka king kaun? ... Bhiku Mhatre.”
Several lines from the film including: “Poochne ke liye zinda rehna zaroori hota hai,” “Mauka sabhi ko milta hai,” “Hum unke darr se fayda hai ... maut se nahin," and “Apne dhande mein wohi jeetta hai ... joh pehla haath marta hai” among many others are used even today colloquially in banter.
Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, the film is written by Saurabh Shukla and Anurag Kashyap. The film was initially planned to be an action film but was later reportedly changed to be a movie on felonies after meeting some criminals.
'Satya', which follows an immigrant coming to Mumbai looking for a job, befriends Bhiku Mhatre and is drawn into the Mumbai underworld, also stars J. D. Chakravarthy, Urmila Matondkar, Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Shrivastava and Paresh Rawal.
