Production[edit]
The idea for Killa came to Avinash Arun when was in the FTII and his father kept having to be transferred from job to job. Arun was having a difficult time finding work as a cinematographer, so he decided to pitch his idea to a fellow student Tushar Paranjape, who ended up turning it into a full script. When Indian indie production company JAR Pictures showed desire to fund independent cinema from up-and-coming directors, Avinash Arun told them about his story in March 2013. The company decided to greenlight the project, and it went on floors after four months.[3]
