I know it’s fake blood but you do end up getting hurt here and there. And of course you were sweating in Pushkar. And guts because they wanted us to do stuff we could have never imagined as actors.”

Banerjee added, “For car shots, I’m so used to using tubes and drone shots and everything. When they narrated the story to me, I was fully prepared that the action will be taken care of by the action guys. On the first day of shoot, they took us to a dune where I had to climb down with the car and I was freaked out.”
