The report further mentioned that the team will shoot some of the crucial war scenes at Aksa Beach in Mumbai. Later, the makers will move to a studio in Dahisar. However, Ranbir Kapoor will not be joining the Kannada superstar.

The source informed the portal, "The war portions are being mounted on a grand scale, with the action choreography designed to reflect Ravana's strategic prowess. It will be a combination of green-screen shots and those shot on the ground and involve heavy VFX work. This set piece doesn't require Ranbir's presence as it's not the Ram-Ravana face-off.
