Delhi, India
It was reported that the schedule for filming would begin in October 2021, and principal photography would begin in Delhi.
The term principal photography usually refers to the phase of producing a film or series in which most of the filming occurs, as opposed to post or pre-production, so although exact locations are hard to find for this movie, most of the main shoot was recorded in and around Delhi.
The film does utilize a lot of sets for the interior shots, and it does look as if some shots were also achieved through green screen.
Outdoor locations for establishing shots and for scenes where our protagonist is staking out houses and following motorbikes through the city were probably done in Delhi.
Canada?
The credits list Rainbow World Entertainment Inc. under the heading Canada Crew, and it seems that this company worked on the film providing location managers and assistants.
The company does seem to have offered help in line production on this film and oddly there is an indication that some location work was done in Alberta, Canada, with an Alberta Government logo appearing at the end of the credit scrawl.
