Inspired by the life of Anita Bai Narre of Betul district in Madhya Pradesh, who after marrying a person from Chitoli Village of Bhimpur block, left his house as there was no toilet.
The film proved a relief at the box office, which had crashed badly after big films like 'Tubelight', 'Jagga Jasoos', 'Jab Harry Met Sejal', 'Rangoon', and 'Raabta' failed badly.
Akshay Kumar's character is a small-town citizen but loves fashion brands and is spotted in off-brands ("Naik" for Nike, "Uima" for Puma,"Evil's" for Levi's) which are quite popular in such small towns.
Filmmaker Praveen Vyas sent a legal notice to the makers, claiming that 'Toilet- Ek Prem Katha' plagiarized scenes and dialogues from his documentary 'Manini', based on the same subject.
When the shoot started, Akshay Kumar tweeted that this is his 20th film with Anupam Kher.
