He said “We had taken all permissions including the security and were there at Brahma Muhurtham time. By 2:30 AM, the four units were already in waist-deep water, filming in the freezing cold even before the main Juna Akhada arrived. We shot for 12 days, working over 10 hours daily to capture the essence of the Maha Kumbh. We were surrounded by more than 2 crore people, and by morning 10:30 AM, the team would come out frozen from the waist down,”
He shared "original footage of the Kumbh Mela will be seen in a 10-minute sequence in the film, promising audiences a visual feast on screen"
