They were told of the restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court on the movement of equipment and generators at the monument.

Both Katrina Kaif and Rishi Kapoor, actors in the film, looked relaxed and were enchanted by the beauty of the Taj. Rishi Kapoor plays the role of Katrina's father in the film that centres around an NRI family in London. The daughter (Katrina) is escorted by her doting father on a discovery of India trip.

Vipul Shah, talking to media persons, said if there had been international flights to Agra, a lot of film units would have benefited from shooting locales available in the city.
