Hitman is the second book published by Simon & Schuster in India.[18][19][20] The book has a foreword by former Commissioner of Delhi Police, Neeraj Kumar.[21]

Although some Indian media, such as India.com (owned by the Zee Media Corporation) have described the book as a biography,[22] the book's author Hussain Zaidi told The Telegraph that "I wouldn't call it a biography because the book focuses on one aspect of his life and we have not touched his personal life or his early life."[23]

The book was described as a "fiery tale" by the Hindustan Times.[24]

Many prominent Indian filmmakers and actors including Vishal Bhardwaj, Anees Bazmee, Jacqueline Fernandez Sri, etc. admired and promoted this book.[25]

This book was described as the best crime book by Mint (newspaper).[26]
