Production

Mukerji, who played the role of a crime branch officer in the film, met the Mumbai Police Crime Branch Chief as part of research for her role. It was speculated that her role was inspired by IPS officer Meera Borwankar, who was an investigation officer in the Mumbai 26/11 attacks. For her role, Mukerji trained in Krav Maga, a street-fighting, self-defence system developed for the Israeli military.
