• The film is based on real events – a series of terrorist attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai from November 26 to 29, 2008.
• Initially, Teresa Palmer was cast for one of the roles in the film, but due to her pregnancy, the actress was forced to leave the project.
• Screenwriter John Collee, and screenwriter and director Anthony Maras, spent a year collecting material about the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. They met and spoke with survivors of those terrible events, law enforcement officers, hotel guests, and hotel staff. They also spoke with relatives of the deceased – some in person, others by phone or via Skype. They studied intercepted phone conversations between the terrorists and those behind the attacks, read transcripts of court proceedings, and reviewed numerous articles in the print media and hundreds of hours of television news coverage from the scene.
• A significant amount of dialogue in the film is taken verbatim from transcripts of intercepted phone conversations during the 2008 Mumbai event.
• Towards the end of the crime melodrama "Slumdog Millionaire" (Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandan, 2008), Dev Patel, who played the main character, performs a dance on a railway platform. A month after the release of "Slumdog Millionaire", Patel saw reports on television from the scene of events in Mumbai, and specifically that very platform, and realized he simply had to star in a film about this tragedy.
