On day one, Nawazuddin and actor Shreedhar Dubey shot some important scenes at the LLR Hospital. "Nawazuddin Siddiqui abhi yahan police ki jeep mein aayenge aur phir hospital ke andar chale jayenge. Yehi scene yahan par shoot hona hai," informed Yogesh Tripathi, a member of the crew. In Bithoor, Nawaz and Tigmanshu shot together for some scenes.
Sunday had its store of adventure for the crew as Nawaz shot in the Kotwali for the film. As usual, a huge crowd had gathered here too to have a look at the '

Raman Raghav

Badlapur

' actor. A boy among the crowd, managed to skirt the bouncers and the policemen surrounding the actor and ran up to Nawaz, put his arms around his neck and tried to click a selfie with him. But the cops on duty quickly apprehended him and took him away from the shoot location.
