When Pankaj Tripathi shot in live location shirtless
In a scene that’s pivotal to the narrative, Tripathi had to shoot in a real town location wearing minimal clothing and running through live crowds. Speaking about the experience, he shared, “It was a great scene, shot in a real location, and I did it for the first time. I was performing in a way where the clothing was minimal, but it was necessary for the role. It wasn’t for sensationalism; it was an important part of the film’s story.”

He further revealed that hidden cameras were used to capture authentic reactions from people around, “That sequence is a turning point. We didn’t even know when the shot started. Some of the crowd reactions captured were genuine. I was a bit nervous, but without this experiment, the storytelling wouldn’t be complete. I even ran for a few days in preparation. I hope it turns out well. You'll see it and let me know.”

I was a bit nervous because it was somewhat unusual; I wondered if I'd be able to act well alongside her... But Konkona is a professional actor.”
Adding to it, the actor said, “We first met while shooting for the film, spoke for about half an hour, and then our friendship developed, and the chemistry formed. When you watch the film, you'll see that chemistry. It was a wonderful experience working with her! She's a great actress and an equally wonderful human being.
