Continuity
When Aryan sees Ria for the first time, Aryan takes off his helmet and throws it, then gets off his bike. We not only see him throw it, we also hear it bouncing around. Right away he begins walking towards Ria. Later on in the same scene, when he goes up to Ria, his helmet has reappeared tucked under his arm.
Trivia:
The film is inspired by the American movie Fear (1996).

Vikram wrote the film based on his relationship with his daughter who was separated from him because of his divorce.

Amitabh Bachchan only committed to the film because of his relationship with the former producer Sujit Kumar. The movie was almost shelved due to Sujit Kumar's financial difficulties, but was revived when Cutting Edge Entertainment got involved.
