“It was really hot out there. Temperature was going to almost 40 degrees everyday but luckily the environment on set was such that everyone was just focused on making a good film. The locals there were so sweet.

“They were going extra mile to make us feel comfortable in the scorching heat,” Rajkummar said in a statement.

It was during the course of shooting the film last month that Rajkummar lost his mother, who was reportedly unwell for a while and succumbed to a heart attack. Now, the actor has wrapped up the shooting.
