Production.
The production of this new film! 🎥🌟 It’s awesome that Sandeep Reddy Vanga is taking on the role of producer for his next directorial venture in Bollywood. And with the collaboration of Bhadrakali Pictures and T-Series, it’s bound to be a big hit! Ranbir Kapoor is such a talented actor, and I can totally see why he would be a great fit for the lead role. I hope he finalizes his involvement after hearing the final script. It’s also cool that Anil Kapoor is part of the cast.

The filming for this film has been quite an adventure! Principal photography started in Manali in April 2022, and then they moved to Mumbai in May and even filmed at the stunning Pataudi Palace in July.
