Your roots are from Punjab and you shot extensively over there. Did you indulge in the local revelry like fassi etc?
No, we never had time for that. We were shooting in Patiala for the Punjab portion and the location was some two hours away from our hotel. We travelled everyday for four hours and then shot for eight hours. So we hardly had time to see the place.
We were shooting at this place called Nabha, which is close to Patiala, and the locations there were mindblowing. We shot in a haveli. When you see the film, you will realise that it looks like a typical Sikhni household -- very similar to the houses found in Patiala and Bhatinda. I think the credit for that goes to the director Imtiaz Ali.
You must have visited many places while shooting the film...
Yes, we shot at many places -- Shimla, Rohtang pass, Manali... It was an outdoor schedule of 40 to 45 days and till the time the shooting of the film was on, the whole unit was like one huge family.
