John Abraham and Divya Khosla Kumar starrer Satyameva Jayate 2’s filming will take place in Lucknow till January 2021.

On the first day, they shot only with the lead pair, but subsequently, other actors like Harsh Chhaya, Gautami Kapoor, Shaad Randhawa, Anup Soni, and Sahil Vaid will join in. They will be shooting across Lucknow, including at heritage structures like palaces and colleges.

Milap went on to add that even action scenes will be shot on the streets of Lucknow and he has taken John Abraham through all the locations virtually. Some of the live locations will be completely sealed off, so crowd gazers cannot sneak in. Only our cast and crew will be present on the spot.

The script is a notch higher than last time and this time there will be larger than life characters in the film.

Before Covid-19, SMJ 2 was based in Mumbai. John’s roots in the film are in Varanasi and the transition will give the film a pan-India feel, appealing even to viewers in the interiors. They will also be shooting for a few days at a Mumbai studio early next year before calling it a wrap.

 The film will release on Eid 2021.
