It was a quick 1-2 day session with a small crew to keep it under wraps.

Total package: Roughly 1-3 crores when you throw in digital tweaks and the rollout on X. That's tiny compared to the film's overall 400-600 crore budget, but it packs a punch for hype. All this for a poster that's already trending globally!
