Bangladesh 

Maximum scenes of the action thriller were shot in Dhaka. However, some chaotic scenes were difficult for the team to film in a populated city like Dhaka. So, some real images of Dhaka were used in the film. Hargrave wandered around and took photos of the city for some of the movie's background shots.

India 

The film's initial shoot began in India. They shot some starting parts of the film in Ahmedabad and Mumbai in November 2018. The fight sequences that took in the middle of that busy market were filmed in the cities of Ahmedabad and Mumbai. In an interview with an American newspaper, director Sam Hargrave explained that filming in India was tough because not many action films are shot there and that became a problem. He further added that they had to shoot with a six-foot-four blonde guy with a machine gun, Chris Hemsworth and they needed a high level of control, which the Indian sets were not used to.
