Aamir Khan, who had previously gained 20 kilos to film portions of Laal Singh Chaddha had been jogging 10 to 13 kilometers each day to shoot for the remaining sequences. As it demanded an exhaustive physical condition of the leg that the actor had to pull it off on a steady dose of painkillers for 10 days.
A source confirmed the same to Mid-Day stating, "Aamir sir was shooting for a special sequence where he had to run across the country. The physical exertion was a lot due to the constant running, but we were on a fixed schedule. Aamir sir did not want to stop shooting since his bearded look had to be maintained throughout the sequence. So, he would consume painkillers and continue filming. This shooting schedule was on for around 10 days."
