Director Akshat Verma thought it would be best to shoot the film in real locations around the city of Mumbai. To this Saif Ali Khan said, `I think Mumbai is really cinematic, and Akshat has shown it wonderfully. Bandra particularly has a lot of character and personality. You feel it's shot in a real place and you feel that instant connect to the place. Otherwise when you only shoot on set, and don't really know where the film is.
