The film also underlines the horrors of the caste system and how it still plays a strong role in various facets of life. Mukkabaaz was also screened in the Special Presentations section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival and the 2017 Mumbai Film Festival.

Besides Vineet Kumar Singh, the film also stars Zoya Hussain, Ravi Kishan and Jimmy Shergill playing pivotal parts. Mukkabaaz was released on January 12, 2018, clashing with Saif Ali Khan starrer Kaalakaandi, a dark comedy.

Interestingly, the filmmaker's hard-hitting drama Mukkabaaz which was premiered at the 2017 Mami Film Festival in Liberty Cinema received a standing ovation from the viewers.

The filmmaker is known for presenting a powerful narrative in his own unique style. After the debacle of Bombay Velvet, Anurag Kashyap certainly is back and that too in his own desi way of nail-biting storytelling technique.
