As you enter the lane that leads you to the famed Yash Raj Studio, you might want to stop short before the entrance at what looks like an oddball in a space surrounded by manicured buildings. Shivangini Mahendroo who manages the space chooses to aptly call it a "khandar" amidst the urban jungle — a dilapidated building you-d assume was abandoned if not for the location. If it seems familiar you-ve probably stalked Tiger Shroff on social media more than you-d like to admit. It was the location for his parkour stunts and will make an appearance in Baaghi 3.

Once guided inside, the ruins take a kitschy turn and signs in Hindi lead you to your destination on the second floor. On the ascend you-ll find paintings that are a mish-mash of vintage and kitsch, several carved wooden jharokhas and numerous inexplicable items of decor. We-d recommend you to watch your step.
