During ‘Jab We Met’ they had shot in Chandigarh and Patiala and for ‘Udta Punjab’ while the search is yet on, large portions of the film will be shot Chandigarh and a few places around.

Recently, Shahid admitted how he is scared for the movie as this happens to be one of the most challenging roles of his career. But with a movie and role like ‘Haider’ to his credit, we don’t think there’s much for him to worry about.
