The Chronicles of 4.5 Gang director Krishand revealed that his series drew inspiration from projects like 'Gangs of Wasseypur 2', 'La Haine', 'Gomorrah', 'Delhi Belly', and 'The White Tiger'. Avoiding familiar soundtracks, he used diverse music styles as part of the narrative, with Darshana's vocals and lyrics by Ajit and Aleena adding poetry and depth to the storytelling.
