Improv stories from sets are always a fun thing to look out for, afterall, unplanned stories are the most memorable ones. It’s an act very few dare to attempt. Sandeep Modi talks about one such scene with the super cool Anil Kapoor.

He said, “Anil Kapoor had a simple scene where he had to chat with Shaan (Aditya Roy Kapur) and he was supposed to be doing some workout but AK said you know what,  let's do something cool. Let's do a scene where I play
golf and I am hitting golf balls into the ocean. But he didn't know how to play golf and we didn't have a golf kit in Sri Lanka. I think he called the hotel chain in India, who called the hotel we were at in Sri Lanka and we found somebody to go to the golf course and a caddie and a trainer. So we trained for 2 days randomly in the middle of shoot just to do that scene”
