“I thought if we managed to show the ships’ portion in the film organically, then we might end up giving the audience something new, which might have its own challenges, but if we pull it off, then it’ll be fun,” the director said.

Talking about his apprehension before shooting on the ships, Bachchan said, “It all sounded very grand when I was hearing the sequence and I was always apprehensive how they are going to pull this thing off, so I kept asking them.”

“There’s a lot of work on the ship in this film. And to be honest, I was concerned about that because it is not something we’ve been doing in India in films,” Aamir said.

“I was quite fascinated to know they actually built two huge ships which could sail the sea if you wanted to. So they were actual real ships which they built,” he added.
