Production

Describing the film as an emotional action thriller, Ajay Devgn clarified that contrary to speculations, he was not playing a terrorist but a vengeful emotional man who was against the system but did not intend to harm anyone. The filming began in 2010 but was interrupted for six months due to the cold. The shoot resumed in June 2011 and completed by July 2011.

Most of the film was shot in Birmingham and some portions were shot in London. Zayed Khan, who trained in parkour for his role, revealed that the film was inspired from a Japanese film instead of the American film Speed or his own film of the same name.

Upon the film's failure, Priyadarshan claimed that he had no authority over the final edit because the producers took over the film after the shoot and edited it themselves. As a result, the editing made it difficult for many people, including critics, to follow the film's narration.
