For the unversed, the question arises because the film does not clarify where Ajit’s (Saurabh Sachdev’s) body is. The director mentioned that the same questions came in his mind when he read the novel, and he wanted to pass on the same feeling to the viewers of the film. He added, “The word has spread out and I have been getting calls from all over the place. This has happened with all my films. It is the audience that has carried the film (and made it a success).”

Director Sujoy Ghosh Opens Up About Jaane Jaan Casting Process

Sujoy, who has given thrillers like Kahaani, Badla in the past, shared about the cast of the film. Talking about the casting process of the film, the director said: "Lot of help for the casting came from the book itself. Naren is a character who is heavily built, who knows martial arts and is interested in Maths. He has not taken care of himself in his life. Jaideep fitted the bill."

Sujoy said: "For Inspector Karan's character I wanted someone who can be super cool and charming. That's where Vijay came in. For Maya's role, I really wanted somebody who is genuinely a great actress/star, who takes Maya to another level. Kareena was it. I feel she saw much more in the script than I did." "But when you get a cast like this, as a director your responsibility increases,” he concluded.
