The team is currently shooting those scenes in Delhi. On one of the days, on the sets, when Varun was filming his first emotional scene, Shoojit walked up to him and gave him a bit of advice. The source adds, "Cry without any glycerine — that's what Shoojit told Varun. He wants the audience to feel the pain and agony that Varun’s character goes through. Varun actually broke down on the sets and cried while shooting a scene. Shoojit and the entire crew were bowled over by Varun’s performance in that scene."
