Despite being recognized for showcasing the diverse and picturesque facets of Kolkata in his previous works, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury explained that Kadak Singh demanded a different lens. When asked as to why doesn’t see much of Kolkata in the film even though the film is based in Kolkata, the director answered, “It’s confined in a room and it’s coming from a different perspective. I am talking about certain elements, so it must come through my eyes whatever I have seen. This is very objective. The subjects are there I can’t go and show Kolkata unnecessarily. 

He added, "Everything is a perspective of the character, of the hotel, of the incident. This is very incidental, and we are only talking about the incidents. In that I just can’t show else it will become loose. The perspective is what I have portrayed and shown in the movie. This is a very mathematical film, and I can’t give anything extra."

In crafting Kadak Singh, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's deliberate approach to the film's setting reflects a dedication to authenticity and storytelling precision.
