Farhan Akhtar revisited Goa’s iconic Chapora Fort, a location that gained prominence after getting featured in his directorial debut, Dil Chahta Hai in 2001. The coming-of-age tale, starring Aamir Khan as Akash, Saif Ali Khan as Sameer, and Akshaye Khanna as Sid, marked a crucial turning point in Hindi cinema and was also considered ahead of its time.
