The film was shot in Chambal and in the actual barracks Tomar lived in at Roorkee. To prepare for his role, Irrfan Khan trained rigorously with steeplechase coaches, even breaking his ankle at one point during filming. He called the experience "the most physically and mentally demanding film of my career". The film has also been shot in the uphills of one of the oldest army cantonments in India, Roorkee. The Dramatics Team of the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has also contributed to several scenes shot in the cantonment.
