Murder 2 has been inspired by legendary stories of such serial killers and other dark characters like psychopaths. It is rumoured to be inspired by films like Saw and Hostel. Some of these stories have been myths while others are facts but Bhatts and director Mohit Suri have tried to incorporate those elements which are the most intriguing", informs a source, "You pick up any major city in India and it has its own story to tell when it comes to such serial killings. Mumbai has its own share while Delhi too has its own. Goa setting comes into picture here because it again has a history of serial killers." The film was shot in Mumbai and Goa. Earlier, Bipasha Basu was offered the part of the leading lady, but she refused. The part then went to Jacqueline Fernandez. Bipasha Basu was also offered the part of the item number titled "Aa Zara", but also refused, and hence the song was given to Yana Gupta. The song "Hale Dil" had to be re-shot to make it more suitable for television promos. Yana Guptas item number, "Aa Zara" will not be airing on television promos as the number is too explicit and suggestive for audiences under 18. Instead, the number was shot with Jacqueline Fernandez and Emraan Hashmi, which will be airing on television. The original number with Yana will still be kept in the film.
