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.[17][18] 'The Attacks of 26/11' profits will be donated to victims.[19] Ram Gopal Verma had also asked policemen to watch 15-minute trailer of 'The Attacks of 26/11'.[20] The film is restricted to the night of the incident and has focused on the happenings between 9 pm to 1 am when Ajmal Kasab was caught.[21] The film underwent some last-minute changes after Ajmal Kasab's hanging on 21 November 2012.
