The movie marks the first time when Ram Charan, Rakul Preet Singh, and director Sreenu Vaitla collaborated with each other. Later, the two actors were seen in Dhruva in 2016, their consecutive second project together. Filmmaker Sreenu is yet to work with them on another venture.

Bruce Lee: The Fighter was remade in Bangladeshi Bengali as Beporowa in 2019. Directed by Raja Chanda, it features Ziaul Roshan, Eamin Haque Bobby, Kazi Hayat, Shahidul Alam Sachchu, and others. Haque Bobby also financed the remake.

It might seem like Bruce Lee had a big impact on the movie as his name is the title. However, that is not the case. Apart from a tattoo of the legendary personality on Ram Charan’s character’s right hand, there is no other reference to Lee in this film.
