Eyeing a May 24 release, the film — inspired by a secret manhunt that was conducted between 2012 and 2014 to capture one of the country's most dreaded terrorists — is the result of three years of research. Revealing that the shoot wasn't without its challenges, Gupta adds, "One has to keep the sensibility of the subject intact even when we are adding elements of fiction. The film has been shot in real locations. When you are shooting in such locations, it's not about what you want, but about what you get. It tests [your skills]."
