Since the Director Ayan Mukerji describes the challenges of shooting the climax scene of the film in an all-new BTS video from the set. "The most challenging sequence in our film has been our climax. It is a 20 minute sequence with action, visual effects, and emotion. There's so much going on that it's like a movie in itself," he said. Adding on to this, actor Ranbir Kapoor says, "The climax is the high point of the film and I don't think I've ever done this kind of prep before."

Elaborating on the details of shooting the scene, Mukerji further remarks, "We're shooting it against a blue backdrop and it was just blue, everywhere. Because the kind of lighting that we needed to create and the kind of stunts that we needed to pull off would be much better served on an interior stage. It made sense to bring all the different teams together and shoot this in a place like Bulgaria."
