“The train was running slow. But many times those overhead bridges use to come and there was no communication like how you have those speakers now,” he added. The actor said choreographer Farah Khan and the free carries had a white cloth so that every time they “put it up it meant stop the song and I would just bend down.”

“It was very scary. Because even when you lie down it was like you could literally hear the bridge pass over you. That song was shot guerrilla style. A couple of people inside the train fell. You know the train would stop and suddenly start. It was very difficult or shoot the song. It was fun but difficult,” the actor said.
