Lead actress Kalki Koechlin who also cowrote the film with Anurag Kashyap mentioned, A lot of these characters were based loosely on figures that I had seen growing up in India ...Growing up as a whiteskinned woman in India, I was always the odd one out there was a certain alienation that came with that, and you end up alienating yourself because everyone comes to you like the white girl, the easy, Baywatch, loosemoraled white girl.Anurag Kashyap asked Koechlin to write the first scene, to get a female perspective on the treatment of white women at Indian government offices as she personally experienced the objectification. He also wanted to explore the theme of child abuse he had previously played the role of child abuser in I Am 2010 by Onir, and he himself had been a victim of child abuse foryears. At the writing stage Koechlin and Kashyap disagreed on the ending initially, as Koechlin wanted an optimistic ending, unlike Kashyap who wanted to portray that ...you dont always get solutions to your problems. ........
