==Production==
Though set in India, Batra said ''Line of Descent'' should be seen as an international film, explaining that though he could have set the story in a typical American city, he chose to film in the country "because the visual energy of India is very different, so I thought why not use that." He also states that "Filmmaking sometimes ends up being very local for the country a film is made for, but at the same time we are in a very global world, so I think films should reflect this more ... That's why Brendan's character is so interesting in that he grew up in the U.S. and is then in India."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Bhushan|first1=Nyay|title= First Look Brendan Fraser in Indian Drama 'The Field'|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/first-look-brendan-fraser-indian-916798|website=The Hollywood Reporter|accessdate=3 August 2016}}</ref>

==Filming==
Pre-production started on 18 April 2016 and filming began on 18 June 2016. Brendan Fraser was in [[Mumbai]] for two weeks in May to film his scenes, which feature dialogue in [[Hindi]] and English. Speaking of Fraser's time filming in India, Batra said: "It was fantastic. He had a lot of respect for the actors. For instance, Neeraj Kabi was in ''[[Talvar (film)|Talvar]]'' [based on a real-life murder mystery that premiered at Toronto] and Fraser actually happened to see that movie on the flight to Mumbai."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Nordine|first1=Michael|title=Brendan Fraser to Star in Bollywood Thriller ‘The Field’ as a Gun-Running Villain |url=http://www.indiewire.com/2016/06/brendan-fraser-bollywood-thriller-the-field-1201689365/|website=IndieWire |accessdate=16 June 2016}}</ref>
