Odiaar said: "When Marek first appeared in the film, people didn't even know his identity. He was just a homeless person. No one knew his race or his religious beliefs. He was in prison. The other people in the group gave him an identity, and the white people told him:'You are an Arab, you are a dirty Arab.'"
Regarding the title of the film, the director said: "This title is a bit ironic. The word prophet has two meanings. Religiously it refers to those saints who announced the coming of Jesus, and the second meaning refers to the one who announced something. The person whose event is about to come. Our prophet here announces the arrival of a new type of robber. He is smart and educated. He is a good father who is neither cruel nor elegant. Maybe he is a politician, but definitely It’s not the kind of robbers people thought of in the past.” Jacques O'Dial revealed a secret of success: “The protagonist of the film must be a charming man who puts his life in the most difficult and dangerous situation. He can use his wisdom to overcome difficulties and obstacles, constantly improve himself, and reach a new realm of life. Such a talent is a hero that everyone worships."
