Director Nitin Kakkar is currently on a recce in the Kashmir valley where the entirety of the film will be shot. The crew have decided on a two-month schedule for the shoot. Salman had earlier shot portions of a song for Race 3 in Sonmarg before heading for Ladakh. As per the same reports, a source close to the project has revealed that the film has two producers on board. Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde are set to produce the love story for which Zaheer is undergoing rigorous training in action, dance as well as building a physique.  “He is a good dancer and the shoot is most likely to start with a song sequence. A new face will be launched opposite Zaheer but the team is keeping her under wraps at the moment,” added the source. Salman is reportedly supervising Zaheer’s training personally for the last few months. He apparently refers to Zaheer as ‘Zahero’ in an affectionate manner. “Salman saw him at his sister’s wedding function and was impressed with his stage performance and immediately decided to launch him,” adds the source.
