The filmmaker said that he was looking for a beautiful location for the film and he found it in Kashmir.
He said, “I thought why not Kashmir? Right now it is completely safe. We came for inspection in July and we did not find any problems. We have been treated very well by the government, security forces and especially the local people, who have treated us like their own family members.”
Krishna said that after completing the Pahalgam schedule, the crew will continue shooting in Srinagar.
