The initials formed by the title of the film (BP) also make a secondary reference to a 'blue picture' or low-quality pornographic videos that were available on videotape in the 1980s in South Asia. The film deals with the topic of sex education of adolescents and is rated UA (Parental Guidance). With the positive reviews the film received, Deshmukh plans to make a Hindi language remake of the film. This film is being made into Tamil and Telugu by Director Srikanth Velagaleti. Uttung Thakur will co-produce the remake with Mohan S. Devanga of Kangaroo Motion Pictures.

The film was released with English subtitles. Shivkumar Parthasarathy did the subtitling.
