The past three months saw Arjun Kapoor and director Rajkumar Gupta neck-deep in work as they shot for their ambitious project, India's Most Wanted. As he wrapped up the shoot yesterday, the director said the espionage thriller — inspired by a secret mission that was conducted between 2012 and 2014 to capture one of the country's most dreaded terrorists — is the result of three years of hard work.

"I had been researching and writing the script for the past three years. Since it is based on a real event, we shot in real locations, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bihar and Nepal," says Gupta, who is known for his brand of gritty films. The film, that marks his first collaboration with Kapoor, sees the actor play intelligence officer Prabhat.
