What's left behind the scenes
- Alexander Bukharov, the lead actor, performed all the stunts himself.
- Bats play prominent roles in the film. Instead of drawn animation, the filmmakers used flying squirrels – animals inhabiting Southeast Asia and easily trained.
- In 2000, a television series with the same name was planned, directed by Dzhanik Fayziev, but that project never came to fruition.
- The film's theatrical premiere was initially scheduled for January 1, 2007. However, it took place earlier – on December 28, 2006.
