This is not the first time the two will be working together on a film. Earlier, they shared the screen space for Dharma Productions’ Kesari.
From what we hear is that the makers of Capsule Gill are leaving no stone unturned to shoot the film on a large scale and have reportedly blocked 100 acres of land for shooting. It is being billed as the biggest Indian production to ever take place in the UK as far as the scale is concerned.
