We had the safest shooting environment, director says
Filmmaker Varun Sharma, who is making his directorial debut with this movie, assured that all the steps were taken to create "the safest shooting environment." "I'm thankful that it all went well because this will give confidence to the entire film industry to return to shoot," Varun, who has previously served as an assistant director for YRF blockbusters Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, said.
Highly sensitive times, said Saif
"These are highly sensitive times and actors, producers, crew, everyone will have to be extra cautious because there is a risk element. I was amazed by the steps taken to ensure that we have the best shooting experience," Saif noted about the experience.

Talking about collaborating again, Rani had earlier said, "I have lovely memories of working with him and I'm really looking forward to creating something new and exciting with him...Hopefully, the audiences will give us the same love that they have given our earlier films (sic)."
