Apoorva Lakhia said that the script was written with the lead actor, Amitabh Bachchan, in mind. Lakhia explained that Man on Fire has been made into four films in five different languages. sic So this is the Indian version. It has all the necessarily ingredients required for a movie to come out of India. Vikram Chatwal, who plays Ravi Rathore in the film, said People talk a lot about cross cultural films. These films dont necessarily have to be like Monsoon Wedding or Bend It Like Beckham. This is not another Hindi film. This is not a remake of Man on Fire. If you see the way it is shot, edited and directed, it is setting new standards. Mr Bachchan is reinventing himself. So please dont turn this film into another Bollywood film.The film was shot on location in Bangkok, Thailand, fordays. Lakhia said that he and Bunty Walia, a producer, chose Bangkok because we wanted our characters to stand out. When they are walking on the street they will look different. Both my heroes are over six feet and Thai men are not as tall. So it was really important to be in a place where they could stand out. ........
