In the end of the Bhakshak trailer, Bhumi’s character says,(“Dusron ke dard mein dukhi hona bhul gaye hai kya? Kya ab bhi aap apni ginti insaano mein karte hai ya apne aap ko Bhakshak maan chuke hai? [Have you forgotten to feel the pain of others? Do you still count yourself among humans, or have you considered yourself a predator?)

Bhakshak is inspired from the real-life Muzaffarpur shelter home case, where numerous girls were sexually abused by the shelter operators and powerful individuals. The case sparked national outrage and highlighted the vulnerabilities of marginalized children in India.
