Director Ayan Mukerji's last-minute decision to shoot the scene on a busy thoroughfare meant producer Karan Johar had to procure additional permissions. The scene requires a three-kilometre stretch in a suburb to be cordoned off. The authorities also have to divert traffic to avoid jams.

The upcoming fantasy adventure trilogy titled "Brahmastra" is directed by Ayan Mukerji. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor. This will be the first time that Amitabh, Ranbir and Alia will be joining hands for a project. The trilogy's first part will release on Independence Day, August 15, 2019.
