Varma conceived the idea of the film after meeting a man named Haneef , who had been in prison for five years after the 1993 Bombay bombings and was a close aid of the mobster and terrorist Dawood Ibrahim . Haneef told Varma about the fallout between Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan . Varma also had a lot of information which he used in the film , especially about police procedures he could not use in '' Satya '' since it was too much for one film . The film was made in several locations of Mumbai , Mombasa , Nairobi , Hong Kong and Switzerland . Hemant Chaturvedi served as the director of photography while Chandan Arora edited the film
