Trivia

3. Though in the film the cellphone proves to be a tool for Bob Biswas as his prospective victim's photo is sent to him via MMS, in real life Saswata Chatterjee (who portrayed Bob Biswas )doesn't even use mobile and has only a landline number as a point of contact.
4. Vidya Balan was the very first choice for the film.

12. Saswata Chatterjee (Bob Biswas) used to play the character of "Topshe" in the Bengali TV adaptations of the "Feluda" until 2001. Parambrata Chattopadhyay (who plays Inspector Satyaki Sinha/Rana) replaced him in 2003 and since then he plays the role in four Bengali movie adaptations.
