Johare said, ‘We had to build a 6-acre set in 20 days. We couldn’t take many people from India to Bangkok. So I had to collaborate with local artists there. 500 people from Thailand worked day and night every day to build the set.’
Finding the right location in Thailand
According to Johare, most of the scenes depicting Lyari, the old area of Karachi, Pakistan, were shot in Bangkok. To add more depth to the story, another large set was built in Mumbai.

We looked at locations in several countries, but finally, we found one in Thailand. There, we got the space to build a large set.’
