Production

Amit Trivedi said about the soundtrack, "The film required a really dark soundtrack. So, I had to incorporate psychedelic trance and hip hop into it. It will be edgier and more in-your-face than anything else seen in Bollywood music before. I don't know how the audience will react to it because it is not something that we are used to. But I do know that there are people who have an appetite for psy-trance and hip hop in India. So, I hope it is received well".[10] The movie's music rights were sold for INR 18 crore, making it the biggest such deal in Bollywood history.[11]

Release

The movie has been reported to have had issues with the censor board over profanities and scenes of drug use [12]
