Directed by RS Prasanna, the movie began filming in February 2024 and is scheduled to hit theaters in time for Christmas.
As reported by the Hindustan Times, Aamir Khan will commence the next schedule of the film in New Delhi.

According to a source, the film will extensively shoot in Delhi, utilizing iconic locations such as Lal Qila (Red Fort), Lodhi Garden, Purani Dilli (Old Delhi), and Tyagraj Stadium as picturesque backdrops. The source revealed, “The schedule is set for one month, between May-June. The children will indulge in various Paralympic Games for the shoot. It will be shot at different spots in Delhi, including Lal Qila, Lodhi Garden, Purani Dilli, and Tyagraj Stadium.

This casting choice adds an extra layer of authenticity and promises to deliver heartwarming moments between the coach and his team, further enhancing the emotional depth of the story.
