Apart from Karan, Kajol also took to her Instagram account and shared a video that featured a few snaps from the film.

Yash uncle actually renovated and made new makeup rooms in Filmistan studios permanently just for the shooting of this film because even with the vanity vans it was not going to be enough for this gigantic starrer!”

She also stated that while filming K3G director Karan fainted because of dehydration.

She wrote, “@karanjohar collapsed and fainted on set because of dehydration in the first few days .. it was really really hot!”

“And this was @___aryan___ ‘s debut on screen…! It was also I think my first comeback (not sure about this part though) too many comebacks ago ) And the first and only time I stood in front of the pyramids and truly felt them with my soul.. so yes, this was a truly HUGE film in every which way, in life and cinema,” she added.
