What's left behind the scenes

A Russian doctor served as the prototype for Borat Sagdiyev. And Borat himself (along with rapper Ali G and Austrian homosexual Bruno) was created in 2000 – all these characters became full-fledged participants in Sacha Baron Cohen’s show on MTV.
According to Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat's costume was never cleaned or washed.
Todd Phillips was originally supposed to direct the film, but he had to leave the project due to creative differences with Sacha Baron Cohen.
Borat's mustache and hair are real. Sacha Baron Cohen grew them specifically for filming.
The film almost became a record holder for the nomination 'Longest Title of a Feature Film'. The full title of the film can be translated into Russian as: 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'.
Big fans of Borat, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, and Steve Martin asked Sacha Baron Cohen to give them a cameo, but he refused in order not to ruin the realism of the film.
Practically all the minor characters are not actors, but ordinary people who were unaware of what was happening. Only three students who gave Borat a ride in a trailer sued him. And that's despite the fact that an editor from the TV channel where Borat caused trouble lost her job because of him.
The authorities of Kazakhstan promised to do everything possible to prevent the appearance of physical copies of the unwelcome comedy in the country. Shortly thereafter, strangely enough, they thanked Sacha Baron Cohen for "raising international interest in Kazakhstan".
One song by Macedonian singer of Romani origin Esma Redžepova was included on the film's soundtrack.
The scenes set in Kazakhstan were filmed in the Romanian village of Glod in Dâmbovița County. Several characters supposedly speaking Kazakh actually speak Romanian. The woman playing Borat’s wife was actually born in Kazakhstan and emigrated to Romania.
Most of the film's scenes were shot without a script, and all roles except for Borat himself, Azamat, Pamela Anderson, the Black prostitute, and Borat’s family members were played by non-professional actors.
Sacha Baron Cohen does not speak Kazakh in the film, but rather heavily distorted Hebrew. Actor Ken Davitian, playing the role of Azamat, speaks Armenian. The film also contains lines in various Slavic languages (for example, “Jak she mash!”, which Borat uses as a greeting; in reality, the phrase is a question in Polish “Jak się masz?”, meaning “How are you?”). Borat and Azamat also use a lot of Armenian, Kazakh, and Russian profanity.
The first non-pornographic film banned from distribution in Russia.
