  Principal photography commenced on 19 June 2024, with aerial-based action sequences shot in Mumbai. An action sequence between Khan and Babbar was filmed in July, and in August, further action sequences, including gun fights and hand-to-hand action sequences, were shot over a period of 40 days across Mumbai. For these sequences, it was reported that sets worth ₹15 crore were created to resemble Dharavi and Matunga. In September, Khan sustained a rib injury during filming. Filming resumed later that month, with a song involving Khan, Mandanna and 200 background dancers being filmed. However, filming was again halted, due to heavy rains across Mumbai.
  
  Filming was further halted due to security concerns after Khan received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi, with a shooting also reported near Khan's home. After increasing on-set security, principal photography resumed in November, with filming taking place in Falaknuma Palace. Two songs featuring Qawwali and Holi -style themes were reportedly also filmed. Action sequences involving a train and 350 extras were then filmed on elaborate sets recreating Borivali and Mumbai Suburban. In January 2025, Sikander ' s final filming period began in Mumbai, with four action sequences shot, reportedly including aircraft, trains, and sets resembling a prison and a hospital. Principal photography concluded on 14 March 2025.
