In conversation with Mashable India’s The Bombay Journey, Jaideep revealed that they were shooting on the bridge when suddenly they were surrounded by 8-10 cars. They later got to know that they all were police cars and were there after them. He said,


“The moment we reached the toll, there were 8-10 cop cars and we realized they were there for us, with sirens blaring. And we were like ‘were gone’. I was the junior-most there. Kamal sir was sitting in the car, and I thought he’ll handle it. The cops started yelling like we see in all Hollywood films ‘keep your hands where I can see them.’ He kept yelling and I was thinking ‘I won’t do anything, please don’t shoot.”
