‘Hotel Mumbai’ director Anthony Maras has used actual footage of terrorist Ajmal Kasab’s police confession in the film. The film is based on the 26/11 terror attack, which culminated in the horrific destruction of Taj Mahal Palace hotel on Mumbai, in 2008. Police and local authorities gave Anthony Maras information, access to interviews and the actual footage of Ajmal Kasab after he was nabbed by the police. The transcripts submitted to court were also made available to Maras and his co-writer John Collee.

We interviewed Kasab’s lawyer for further insight,” Maras said. “We stayed at the Taj for over a month, interviewing staff members and walking the same corridors, kitchens and hallways the events took place in,” he added.
