We hear the action sequence in Kakori was shot for three days, and was one of the most difficult and challenging sequences of the film.

A source close to the team said, "Kakori train by pass is a beautiful location to shoot as it is not densely populated. We did extensive recce to make a note of the train arriving pattern. The crew used to be informed 15 minutes in advance, to avoid any kind of damage or causality. The safety measures taken to shoot this part were abundant to avoid any kind of mishaps. This place is not much known in the film industry."
