Director Aanand L Rai not only recreated Meerut with a humungous set in Mumbai but also flew down local people from the small town to add authenticity to the film. The filmmaker who adds a rooted touch to his films flew down 300 artists from Meerut especially to create the feel of the town in addition to the set.

The makers built a huge set in the film city of Mumbai replicating the iconic Ghantaghar and streets of Meerut to incorporate the elements of the small town giving it a realistic touch. While Aanand L Rai hired junior artists for the film to showcase the buzzing lanes of Meerut he also ensured the background artists hailed from Meerut as well to present the real feel of the city.
