– We needed to audition near 2800 kids for the position of the younger Milkha Singh. And we discovered him in the end serving meals to us in Punjab. I checked out him intently, and realised we had discovered our Milkha.
–There’s a scene the place the Indian contingent of gamers crosses the border. I used to be truly capturing at Ferozepur border, and barely had permission to shoot this facet of the border. We have been with the BSF, and I used to be very eager to see the Indian contingent bus enter Pakistan. The Pakistani officer was very intrigued ki capturing chal rahi hai movie ki. I requested Indian officers to request him if I can step into Pakistan, take my cameraman, and simply have the bus enter. He was variety sufficient, and delicate sufficient to know. I advised the Pakistani officer ki hum pyaar mohabbat ki movie bana rahe hain. He allowed us, so we walked into the opposite nation with none visa or passport, some 50 metres, put our digital camera below the safety of the Pakistani rangers, and took the shot.
