Recollecting fond memories of the film and working with Ranbir Kapoor, Director Abhay Chopra shared, "The year I made this film, capital punishment was a part of every prime-time debate and churned out scores of opinion pieces and cover stories. India saw the hanging of Dhananjay Chatterjee for the rape and murder of Hetal Parekh which fuelled these debates. Karma is fiction but heavily inspired from reality. If you notice carefully, the debate on capital punishment did not get over with the Dhananjay case, every crime that gets National media's attention almost always rakes up this topic. I have fond memories of directing Ranbir Kapoor, he had not even started his career back then, such an effortless actor. Acting really runs through his veins. Sharat Saxena has done a phenomenal job in the film and such powerful screen presence. I'm glad I could tell this story and that it is getting an extended viewership on Bandra Film Festival."
Cut to present, Ranbir Kapoor has come a long way and carved his own space in the Hindi film industry. The actor has some exciting films in the pipeline which include Brahmastra, Shamshera, Animal and Luv Ranjan's next co-starring Shraddha Kapoor.
