Did you know
- TriviaAkshaye Khanna improvised the specific choreography for the primary dance sequence. During the production of this musical number, the actor experienced a significant drop in oxygen levels due to the high-altitude filming location. Medical staff provided an oxygen mask for use between takes, allowing the performer to complete the song on schedule.
- GoofsRakesh Bedi's character operates vehicles that did not exist during the film's primary time-line of 2007 through 2009. He drives a Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222), a model series that entered production in 2013. He also utilizes a Mercedes-Benz M-Class (W166) SUV, which debuted globally in 2011 and arrived in the Indian market in 2012. These luxury vehicles appear in multiple scenes set years before their respective commercial launches.
- Quotes
- Ajay Sanyal: India's biggest enemies are Indians themselves. Pakistan comes second.
- Crazy creditsThe post-credits sequence features a formal dedication to the unidentified personnel of India's intelligence agencies. This tribute references the operative alias "unknown men" to acknowledge the clandestine nature of international counter-terrorism missions. The directive parallels the thematic focus on the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) operatives depicted throughout the narrative.
- Alternate versionsIn securing its 'A' (Adults Only) certificate from India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the final theatrical release incorporated multiple mandatory cuts and modifications that differ from the filmmakers' original version. These changes, which constitute corrections rather than production mistakes, include a Hindi voiceover added to the disclaimer, anti-drug and anti-smoking warnings inserted into relevant scenes, the deletion and replacement of violent visuals at the film's beginning, a reduction of violent visuals in the second half, the muting of a single cuss word, and an alteration to a minister character's name. Furthermore, following its initial theatrical run, a revised version was circulated to cinemas on January 1, 2026, which contained a new modification involving a muted word. The Netflix streaming release is a separately edited version, running approximately 10 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut with additional scene removals and dialogue muting.
