In the video, we see all the actors dressed as forces sharing a fun-filled conversation with laughs galore. It just goes to show how important their teamwork played a part in motivating themselves in the tough conditions and how they kept their smiles intact while being expected to display the fiercest intensity during the performance. 

In the caption along with the video, Vicky wrote that the actors were expected to hold their helmets, gears, guns and be responsible for it as if their life depended on it. It was like an ‘army rule’ they strictly lived up to during the entire shoot. 

The shoot wasn’t easy as they had to carry protein bars, nuts and bags with bottles of energy drinks as food trollies and spot team were often not allowed to reach deep in the jungles in Serbia.

The ‘Sanju’ star added that he was so involved with the experience of shooting the movie that he’d often wake up with his index finger bent, as if in preparation to pull the trigger during the shoot. 

The actor added that night shoots were full of intense action, but at the same time, filled with banter and laugh between the shots like we see in the video. Even the director Aditya Dhar would join in, Vicky wrote. 

The ‘Manmarziyaan’ star shared that all of it felt ‘worth it’ as it resulted in ‘generous love’ from audiences for their efforts. Vicky, along with the team, thanked the audiences from the bottom on their hearts for keeping the ‘josh’ high. The 30-year-old also gave a special shoutout to the ‘wonderful’ co-actors who formed the SF – Special Forces team, naming each of them.
