Principal photography commenced on 10 July 2023,[12] with the initial shoot held in Chanderi.[13] Pankaj Tripathi joined the sets after competing Main Atal Hoon.[14][15] The second schedule began in the same place in November 2023.[16] In December, a dance number featuring Tamannaah Bhatia alongside Rao, Tripathi, Khurrana, and Banerjee, along with the director, was filmed in Bihar and choreographed by Vijay Ganguly.[17][4] According to him, it was shot under harsh weather conditions because the director wanted to capture a realistic setting, as the following scene takes place in a live location.[18] Varun Dhawan joined the set in February 2024 to shoot his special appearance, reprising his role from the film Bhediya.[19]
