The video focuses on the challenges the film's team had to face to bring a believable world on screen. From getting all the nuances of the sets right to the makeover of the film's cast, the three-and-a-half minute long clip reveals what went into bringing alive the 1940s era. The makers also chose to shoot anamorphic scenes in order to give the audience a real feeling of the time by including vintage cars and shooting on train stations and actual stadiums.

In fact, the makeup team also faced a lot of trouble since 20 actors had to get the perfect look for the film in just about 2 hours. The filmmaker also shared that how the weather in England being extremely cold and rainy was the exact opposite of the hot weather schedule in India. She concluded by praising her entire crew for shooting in extreme conditions and adds, "I mean it was very intense. It was like a slap in the face, if you ask me but the crew was excellent and they always backed me up."

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, GOLD is all set to release on the August 15, 2018.
