Production

Anurag Kashyap got an opportunity to direct Last Train to Mahakali in a moment of disenchantment. Producer duo Manish Tiwari and Saket Bahl were looking to produce quality content with potential talents in different capacities. Anurag Kashyap who showed both the potential and desire to debut as a director, discussed a few stories with the producers. After a lot of deliberation, the story of 'Last Train to Mahakali ' was finalized among them.

Kashyap contacted cinematographer Natarajan (Natty); he had liked Natty's work in the music videos of the band Euphoria. Producers flew Natty from Delhi to shoot the film and gathered the entire passionate and creative crew to match up with the vision of Anurag Kashyap and the conviction of Manish Tiwari - Saket Bahl. They shot the entire film in over four days.
