His presence symbolizes the destructive nature of greed, and throughout the film, Hastar becomes a haunting figure, guarding the treasure Vinayak seeks.

The film was shot primarily in the real-life village of Tumbbad in Maharashtra, India, which serves as a critical location in the film. Other parts were filmed in locations across Maharashtra to depict the era and atmosphere of the early 20th century.
