Patch shoots and trailer updates
Over the weekend, two patch shoots were held at the Golden Tobacco Factory in Vile Parle and Filmalaya Studio.
A crew member shared, "On Saturday, a small action bit was filmed with a crowd of about 50 people at the Golden Tobacco Factory in Vile Parle. The next day, another small shoot took place at Filmalaya Studio."
These shots will be added into the trailer, which is currently being edited.

'Sikandar' on track despite last-minute shoots
Despite last-minute patch shoots, Sikandar is said to be on schedule for its release.
"It's a race against time, but Salman and (director, AR Murugadoss) are clear on delivering a blockbuster," said an insider.
The film's marketing strategy has been slightly changed due to delay in trailer release. A distributor noted that usually momentum is built with teaser and trailer releases, but here the team will rely on Khan's star power.
