The first film of Director Sriram Raghavan shot in two different languages, Hindi and Tamil. Many of the actors remain the same for both versions, but a few characters (Yadhoom Uncle, Ronnie, and the police officers) are played by different actors.
Sriram Raghavan plays a perfect tribute to his fav crime thriller movie Jewel thief by using the same background music in few of the important scenes of the movie Rishi Vij
Saif Ali Khan was first considered for role of playing Albert, played by Vijay Sethupathi in the movie.
Two beautiful R D Burman melodies from 'Parinda' and 'Raja Rani' are heard in the background scores of this film. Such nostalgic homages to Hindi cinema classics are very common in Sriram Raghavan cinema.
The film is Sriram Raghavan's second collaboration with Music Director Pritam, who earlier worked with him in 'Agent Vinod'. The film is the second longest film of Sriram Raghavan with runtime duration (2 Hours 24 Minutes) followed by Agent Vinod (2 Hours 37 Minutes). The film is third consecutive collaboration with actress Radhika Apte after 'Badlapur' and 'Andhadhun'.
