Pallavi further added, “One thing that happened during the shoot was that while we were shooting for the film in Kashmir, a Fatwa was issued in our name. Luckily, we were shooting our last scene when the fatwa was issued in our name. When I came to know about all this, I said to Vivek, ‘Let’s finish this scene quickly and leave for the airport.’ We were anyways leaving, I said, ‘let’s complete the shoot, because then we will not get another chance to be here.’”
