Recently, in a conversation with SCREEN, actors Vikramm Bhambri, Hirav Mehta, and Rajat Arora recalled shooting for the blockbuster. They discussed the health challenges they faced during the Leh-Ladakh schedule, and also spoke about the Lyari set that was put up in Thailand. They also shared that around 100-200 people from the production team fell sick due to food poisoning during the shooting. Lyari set was made in Thailand Talking about the Lyari set that was built in Thailand, Rajat Arora shared, “Lyari set was put up in Thailand, some of it was also shot in Amritsar. A few scenes were shot in Chandigarh too. Most of the Lyari scenes were shot in Thailand. In Thailand, it would rain at any time; the set was spread across 6 acres. They actually constructed Lyari; no one has been there, but seeing the videos and footage from there, they created a set. When we entered, it actually felt like we were in Pakistan.”

Vikarmm Bhambri shared, “We had to shift the Kargil schedule to Leh due to the Pahalgham attacks. We did not get the permissions. Initially, when we were told about the location, Kargil, we felt proud. It’s a dream for every Indian to visit there once, see that place, we also thought we would get to go there, but that didn’t happen because of the unfortunate attack. The schedule also got delayed; we were worried about how it would happen, whether it would happen or not.”
