The total shoot duration is 70-80 days, and Amitabh will shoot for 45 straight days in Nagpur.
“I chose the city of Nagpur because the story is based there. I wanted the look and feel to be as authentic as possible and Nagpur has its own unique charm, feel and locales, different from Mumbai and Pune. The language of the film would be best showcased in Nagpur hence I chose the lanes of that city,” Manjule said in a statement.
