On how Khan shot the impactful climax
Singh praised Khan, saying, "Aryan was so clear that he wanted it that way." "That slow-motion shot without music and audio worked wonders." "Because the moment you see it, you want to go back because you can't believe it, and just go 'What? What was that?'" She also spoke about filming the song from Gupt. Though not in the original, Khan told her to pretend like she was dancing beside Deol.
