According to a report shared by Mid-Day, a massive set of Mumbai's infamous Dharavi slum was built at the SRPF Ground in Goregaon, where Sikandar was shot. Additional filming was done at a hospital in Marol, says the report, adding that the shoot in Mumbai took place at these two key locations in September 2024. A source revealed to the portal in September, “A chunk of the film is set against these two backdrops. Over the next fortnight, Salman and Murugadoss will wrap up a significant portion of the actioner. Shooting is on in full swing. The leading man has some elaborate action set-pieces that will be shot at the Dharavi set.”

His body doubles are being used for other shots, including some stunts. The fight sequences to be performed by Salman will be shot at a later stage.” Will the team wrap up the pending fight sequences at the Mumbai set during the final stage, or will they continue following the Hyderabad schedule?
