The makers of Dahaad 2 aim to scale up the Sonakshi Sinha, Viineet Kumar Siingh, and Gulshan Devaiah-led series. After wrapping up the Rajasthan schedule, director Reema Kagti and her team will now move to Mumbai for the next leg.

According to sources, the Rajasthan leg - shot across multiple small-town locations - focused on establishing the new case and its socio-cultural context. "The Rajasthan schedule was about building the world again, getting the mood, and the investigation in place," says a source close to the production.

With that groundwork completed, the unit is gearing up for a more physically demanding schedule in Kurla. The three-week stint will feature crowd-heavy scenes alongside action set-pieces. "There are multiple action blocks lined up from chases, confrontation scenes, to some high-intensity moments involving the police unit," shares the source. To ensure tighter execution, the team will shoot across controlled environments as well as select real locations in and around Kurla.

The source adds, "These scenes require timing, movement, and coordination. The idea isn't to suddenly make it larger-than-life. But as the case progresses, the stakes naturally escalate. The Mumbai schedule reflects that progression."
