Production

Cinematographer Axel Fischer BVK was called for the cinematography of the film due to his experience in the field for action-thrillers. Former Playboy cover-girl Candice Boucher was signed as the lead actress opposite Sachiin J Joshi, who would be playing a sand artist in the film. Amber Rose of From Paris With Love fame will be starring alongside. Amitabh Shukla and Humphrey Dixon were signed as the editor.

The international action company Action Concept was given the work to direct the action stunts since the film involved shooting on multiple foreign locations.

Filming took place at multiple locations like Morocco, Hong Kong, Algeria, Poland (Kraków), France, Germany and India. The climax was shot in Chechnya, Russia. Azaan is the first film to be shot in Chechnya after it became an ecological disaster zone, with oil and chemical leaking into the ground and radioactive material left lying about.

The shooting was scheduled in these countries for 70 days which included many local cast to add the genuine look to Aazaan. During the shoot for a torture scene in Marrakech, Morocco, Sachiin went bare-bodied for hours at a stretch at a temperature of 0 to −4 Celsius impressing the production crew. Alvernia Studios in Poland handled the physical production work including camera, light and music score recording.

Some of the action scenes were shot in Bangkok, including stunts in which Sachiin Joshi jumped from a 55-storey tower. Some climax shots were shot by director Prashant Chadha with the rest of the cast, including Ravi Kissen and Arya Babbar.
