Producer Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar are taking great pains to ensure that their film looks realistic enough. To give an authentic feel, the film is being shot in actual chawls in central Mumbai. And surprisingly, they haven't gotten top much trouble. The lead actor Shah Rukh Khan is very popular with the people in these areas. Not too many people know about the shoot, since it is being shot on a closed set.
Ritesh and Farhan's earlier films Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya too have been shot on actual locations.
