In an interview with the Quint, director Raj Kumar Gupta talked about how he worked on the story along with writer Ritesh Shah. He said, “The story was given to me by my producer and I found it very interesting – the content, the time-frame, and at that point it was one of the longest running IT raids. We met the officer involved, he told us things related to the case and also how things happen in general.”
“This is a true story, there is enough drama in it, but as filmmakers you try and introduce fictionalised elements to it to make it more dramatic, so me and Ritesh Shah approached it in such a way that we mixed reality with fiction to dramatise certain events, to bring in that balance where it doesn’t become like a documentary and it’s more like a film.” he added.
