The film's script was created by a group of actors including Vansh Bhardwaj, Tia Bhatia, Janki Bisht and Seema Biswas, through improvisational exercises based on the relatively few snippets of known information about the perpetrators of the attack.[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/awards-and-festivals/tiff/anatomy-of-violence-examines-the-men-involved-in-the-delhi-attack/article31773993/ "Anatomy of Violence examines the men involved in the Delhi attack"]. The Globe and Mail, 8 September 2016. Mehta chose to pursue a significant departure from her usual filmmaking style, in part because of the uncharacteristically poor reviews that greeted her previous film Beeba Boys.
