Sanjay Mishra, who has been appointed as a mascot by the UP Police, named Cyber Baba, to raise awareness about cyber frauds and crimes at the Kumbh, led the team in seeking blessings. This divine experience has infused the entire production with inspiration and energy, setting a spiritual and powerful tone for the film's creation. Vadh 2 is currently being filmed across various locations, including Bhopal, Mumbai, and Manali.

The title Vadh itself carries a deep meaning rooted in Hindu mythology, where gods vanquish demons, symbolising the righteous end of evil (Vadh) as opposed to senseless killing (Hatya). The spiritual essence of the title perfectly aligns with the thematic underpinnings of the film.

While talking to ANI,  Neena Gupta described her Kumbh Mela a "unique experience" and expressed how it had been on her wish list for years, she said, "I have been wanting to come here for years... It was a unique experience... Finally, I took a dip today,"

"The atmosphere here is crazy. I have never seen a bigger gathering in my life... I am impressed by the government for organizing such a huge event," she added.

The Maha Kumbh Mela, an important spiritual gathering for Hindus, is taking place at the sacred meeting point of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the legendary Saraswati rivers.

As of February 6, over 397.4 million devotees have participated in the sacred ritual of taking a holy dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati rivers during the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, according to data from the Uttar Pradesh Government Information Department.
