Makers take corrective measures 

A source told a leading media publication that the entire unit was shooting at a lake where they followed a 12-hour shift and after that, the hired help took over the location to ensure that it was clean, and no garbage was left behind. For some background, the makers had received severe backlash for cooking inside the premises. But soon after the complaint, they hired a tiffin service that would provide food to the unit hands, and also curbed the use of plastic at the location.

One of the most interesting and terrifying antagonists from Kahaani was the assassin Bob Biswas, who would hunt down his targets in the guise of an ordinary overweight salesman. Bob Biswas soon became the most popular villain from the first Kahaani film, as his persona of a wolf in sheep's clothing truly horrified viewers. The upcoming film will delve into the origin of the assassin's career. 

Fans of Abhishek Bachchan are excited to hear that the filming of the thriller drama has already begun. Many netizens congratulated the actor and extended their warm wishes to him. Some stated that this is a big year for the star as well as his fans, as Junior Bachchan will be seen in two other movies- The Big Bull and Ludo.
