As quoted by Bollywood Life, Ayan Mukerji said, “In the south of France, we were literally in the middle of the ocean and we had to do a shot in which Ranbir jumps into the water after which the boat goes far away. We had no safety guards, no safety jackets; we basically left him for five whole minutes. He could have been eaten by a shark and we would have not known that. So that’s the maximum we pushed him for the film. He was very annoyed with us that day.”
In another interview with Hindustan Times, Ayan got the Wake Up Sid actor to jump off from the terrace of a fort in Rajasthan, but only after the director did it.
Ayan Mukerji had said, “I think the desire to torture one another is mutual between Ranbir and me. I get a weird kick from having Ranbir Kapoor do stuff he really doesn’t want to. Like jumping into the ocean or standing at some crazy height. The only way he gets back at me is by insisting I do all of this before he does it. That’s how it goes.”
