Barring helming a weekend episode of Rohit Shetty-hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi—Made in India, Farah Khan has spent the past six months away from film sets. Evidently then, the director was happy to go behind the camera for an ad campaign for a brand that was being fronted by Kiara Advani. The three ads directed by the filmmaker were shot at Bandra's Mehboob Studios, and in distinct attires over an eight-hour leg.

"The shoot was done quickly, without a break, and also involved a photo-session by Avinash Gowariker. His team was given a separate sanitised enclosure. I am organised, and Kiara is punctual. She was always ready with her makeup, and didn't even break for lunch. We had a limited unit of 30 to 40 people, including Kiara's hair, makeup and costume team," says Khan crediting cinematographer Sunil Patel for ensuring a smooth shoot.
