Cast

Filming

Ajmal Kasab character will be played Sanjeev Jaiswal

The director, who had visited the Taj Mahal hotel with the then Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and actor-son Ritesh Deshmukh soon after the 2008 attacks, had denied plans of a movie on the tragedy amid huge public and media outcry. But, later he decided to make the film. Under the art direction of Uday Singh a replica of Taj Hotel was created with a cost of ₹2.5 crore. After auditioning 500 applicants, RGV found an actor to play Ajmal Kasab, the prime accused terrorist in the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, in his film based on the same incident. Delhi boy Sanjeev Jaiswal was chosen to play the much controversial character.[16][17] 'The Attacks of 26/11' profits will be donated to victims.[18] Ram Gopal Verma had also asked policemen to watch 15-minute trailer of 'The Attacks of 26/11'.[19] The film underwent some last-minute changes after Ajmal Kasab's hanging on 21 November 2012. Earlier, it had an open ending. But news of 26/11 prime perpetrator Ajmal Kasab’s hanging has changed the climax.The attacks of 26/11 will detail every aspect of the carnage beginning with the terrorists taking over Amar solanki's trawler 'Kuber'.[20][21][22][23] The shooting of the film completed on December 10,2012 with last shot of the massacre at CST (Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus) station.[24][25] The owner of Leopold Cafe plays himself in the film.[26] The actors in the film have met the victims & done tremendous research on the subject.
