Rajkumar worked hard on NOKJ

Considering the movie's sensitive issue, the director of No One Killed Jessica Rajkumar Gupta revealed that it took him three months to complete research on the real life incident of Jessica Lall, and seven months for penning down the script.

Having fear with the controversies, Rajkumar Gupta clarified that the purpose of using real names in the flick is not with an intention to lay blame on anyone, rather the concept is his interpretation of the case. Talking about his forthcoming flick, the filmmaker asserted that this factor did come to his mind earlier. So Rajkumar tried to approach the film with as much sensitivity as possible. NOKJ, a case which releases on January 7, 2011, is basically based on the real life story of New Delhi based model Jessica Lall, who was shot on the spot by Manu Sharma, son of a prominent Haryana politician.

Apparently, Rajkumar Gupta had a tough time while scripting the story as there were so many characters involved that he did not want the story to mess up. Rajkumar also clarified that Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan shared good time with each other and have great fun while shooting..
