Cast

Production

Vishal Bhardwaj was supposed to shoot the film after Omkara (2006).[10] However, the film was stalled for unknown reasons. It was previously titled Julia.[11][12] The screenplay was written by Matthew Robbins, who previously collaborated for 7 Khoon Maaf (2011).[13][14]

The film's shooting began on 18 November 2015 in Arunachal Pradesh.[15] Many junior artists from Manipur, Arunachal joined the crew for the first shift. In mid January, the film's shooting was halted due to an injury to Shahid Kapoor and a Japanese actor.[16] Kangana Ranaut will be traveling to New York City to research her role,[17] and will head to an island in Mexico to learn solo living.[6]
