Roshan also mentions the film’s financial constraints compared to Hollywood productions, but asserts that the team was able to achieve a lot given the resources. Rakesh Roshan emphasized that the film’s strength lies in its compelling storyline and the emotional depth of its characters. The film, shot in Singapore, aimed to provide the appropriate visuals and setting for the story. The director also shared his experience of working with the cast, including Priyanka Chopra and Rekha, as well as the film’s technical aspects.
