The entire unit traveled in one bus. The bus would leave for the locations, as scheduled and would not wait for anyone. Those who were late missed the bus. The unfortunate ones included producer, Bunty Walia, director Apoorva Lakhia as well as actress Perizaad Zorabian.
The promotion of the film kicked off with a star studded press conference in New York. Bollywood was represented by the films producer Bunty Walia, director Apoorva Lakhia, the lead star Amitabh Bachchan, co-stars Arjun Rampal, Vikram Chatwal as well as Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Karan Johar. International celebrities 'Naomi Campbell', Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker were also present.
The movie's working title was "Ajnabi - A Man Apart".
The filmmakers chose Bangkok as their primary location principally because Bangkok hadn't been captured so extensively on celluloid in the past.
This is remake of Man on Fire starring Danziel Washington.
