You need to be careful to do it with a sensible eye. So we got a lot of picture references of that time and frame in our research work."The production designer, Rajnish Hedao added: "The film starts from the partition. So, we have created train, engine, and station into a 1947 era. And at the same time, we did Bharat houses from 1947 in Punjab villages.

The station floor was made in bricks."Not just the sites but costumes also were made after a lot of research. Alvira Agnihotri, Fashion Designer, said, "A lot of research has gone in costumes. We used to see a lot of family pictures to see what kind of clothes people used to wear those days."What train master, Jackie Shroff, is wearing that is the actual uniform worn at that time," added Lovleen Bains, Costume Designer.To create the partition sequence a whole section of the refugee camp was created in Tughlakabad Fort.Sharing his feeling about partition, Jackie Shroff, who plays Salman's father said, "Partition is not good.
