BBC FOUR made a documentary titled Did Jesus Die? (2004) which explores the survival from the cross theory and in passing mentions theories such as a journey to India, along with a section on the story of Yuz Asaf.

According to a 2010 BBC correspondent report, the old story may have been recently promoted by local shopkeepers who "thought it would be good for business", and its inclusion in the Lonely Planet travel guide to India helped drive the tourist business. The novel The Rozabal Line by Ashwin Sanghi makes reference to the shrine.
