Production:
- The story of Omerta was suggested to director Hansal Mehta by actor Mukul Dev in 2005, who marks his debut as a writer. Mehta said that at the time when Dev told him the story, the internet was “really slow”. So he had to buy books, material from the archives and magazines for the research. He started developing the script but made Shahid (2012) with Rajkummar Rao instead, as he felt the latter was an “easier film to make”.
- He credits Rao being a reason Omerta was made. “I had to meet Rajkummar and because I met him, he became an enabler and because of him, I could make this film.” Initially, Hansal was thinking of casting Riz Ahmed,a British actor of Pakistani descent, as the lead actor for Omerta
Film Shooting:
- Mehta further told that the film “exposes state-sponsored terrorism and how it manipulates young minds into believing a sordid interpretation of Jihad.” The film was shot in real locations across London and Punjab, Old Delhi, parts of Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh in India, while the scenes of Afghanistan and Pakistan were recreated. Mehta, along with his crew, visited some of the places that Ahmed Sheikh had visited. Mehta said that the film does not show the backstory of Sheikh and how he became a terrorist: “It is an uncomfortable film which will raise uncomfortable questions and answers that we have to compel our establishment to find”.
- Several real life footage’s were purchased from different sources of the Indian Airlines flight 814 hijacking, media footage following the September 11 attacks.
Release:
- A special screening of Omerta was held on 29 April 2018, the same day director Hansal Mehta also celebrated his 50th birthday.
