Divya Dutta in the lead roles is not a religious or devotional film in a strict sense. The movie has generated a lot of interest as both Big B and Tendulkar are ardent devotees of Siddhivinayak.
Bachchan and his family members often walk barefoot to the temple from his residence to attend early morning 'aarti' on Tuesdays. The master blaster also offers prayers and seeks the blessings of Lord Ganesha by paying a visit to the temple before every crucial match.
"The Siddhivinayak temple trust has registered more than 100 miracles experienced by the Lord's devotees. We have picked about six to seven for our script," Ingole said.

The film will give a social message that the Lord is firmly behind those who look after their parents.
