==Trivia==
The central character of the film is called Arun Chatterjee ([[Uttam Kumar]]’s real name). Srijit's touches make this film and the central story significantly different from ''[[Nayak (1966 film)|Nayak]].'' The film makes a few references to great filmmakers like [[Ingmar Bergman]] and films like ''[[Wild Strawberries (film)|Wild Strawberries]]''. It alludes to the music of [[R.D. Burman]], [[Red Sky at night]] by [[David Gilmour]] and ''[[The Godfather]]''. There is also a sequence which uses the instrumental track "Yumeji's Theme" from [[Wong Kar Wai]]'s film [[In the mood for love]]. There are pictures of Bengali film maestro Ritwik Ghatak and stills of [[Chhabi Biswas]] from his most memorable role in ''[[Jalshaghar]]'' on the wall of the studio featured in the film. ''Autograph'' is one of the highest grossing [[Cinema of West Bengal|Tollywood]] film of 2010.
