Saamri is shown as a devotee of Hindu goddess Kali Mata but his final rites are performed as per Christian rituals.
Several scene's from the film were used in the music video for the international song DUM DUM by LORD PARAMOUR.
20 year old Farah Khan makes an appearance in the film as a background dancer in the song Bach Aa Le.
The song Bacha Le was inspired from Michael Jackson's hit Thriller 1982 where Jagdeep is shown dressed like Michael Jackson in Thriller.
The popularity of Saamri's character became so famous after Purana Mandir 1984 that Ramsay Brother's decided to make another horror film with Ajay (Anirudh) Agarwal in the lead and titled in Saamri.
