The lead actors shot in the get-up of students and the college was chosen as an alternative to the "usual" educational institutions.[7] The second schedule took place in Istanbul, as insiders of the film considered it a "perfect backdrop" for the action sequences.[9] Salman did a commercial for Cuban Tourism with a local team while shooting a major portion of the film in Havana, the capital of Cuba. The same sets used in the film were featured in the ad.[10] A schedule planned inHong Kong was delayed due to script issues and Aditya Chopra's simultaneous involvement in another project.[11]
