Maras has also co-written the screenplay with Feet Collee. The release of Hotel Mumbai comes as a relief to Indian fans since the Indian release has faced its share of hiccups. The film did not hit Indian shores, despite its release date being set as 29 March initially. As the film went mysteriously missing from the theatre listings, the Times of India even  investigated the factors that could have led to the film not being released in the subcontinent. Patel plays Arjun, a newly promoted waiter, while Hammer and Nazanin Boniadi are David and Zahra, tourists and new parents. Jason Isaacs of _Harry Potter-_fame stars as a Russian businessman Vasili. Anupam Kher is also part of the cast, and will be seen as a chef in the same hotel. Hotel Mumbai had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2018 on 7 September, and  received positive reviews  for its portrayal of the harrowing attack.
