While the film had released earlier in October this year and was completely shot during the COVID-19 pandemic. Talking about it, Ronnie told ETimes, “Luckily, we finished shooting a week before the lockdowns were imposed. So thankfully, we were able to shoot during normal times, in the normal world. But, there were other challenges. We had to shoot in pretty cold temperatures like minus 20, minus 21 degrees. We also shot during minus 5 temperatures, and let me tell you, shooting in minus 20 is a lot easier than shooting between 5 and minus 5 degrees Celsius.”
“It was quite a chilling experience (laughs). Honestly, you just stop thinking about it, about what’s around you. Our job as actors is to create our own world and it doesn’t matter where we are. Sometimes you’re in the middle of heat in 50 degree Celsius and you have to make it look like it’s winter while you’re wearing multiple layers of clothing, and sometimes its quite the opposite. It’s part of the job to create a make-believe environment and there’s a whole team that helps you do that. End of the day, when you give the shot, you don’t think about anything else” Vicky Kaushal added.
