Now, the last segment of the shoot will be completed this week, where a major underwater sequence of the film is set to be shot post Kashmir's schedule for the film. The sequence will feature Shah Rukh Khan and Tapsee Pannu in an intense action sequence.

According to a report of Pinkvilla, the report stated, "It's not an action sequence, but a pivotal one which will help take the narrative forward, and to an important juncture. The team is excited to film it soon, and the location for it is yet to be finalized. Meanwhile, they are shooting in Kashmir, and will wrap up the schedule this week."

The report also mentioned, "After this and the underwater sequence, they will call it a wrap. Meanwhile, Rajkumar Hirani has been working on the post-production simultaneously, and the movie is presently on track."
