The team was found filming in March but had to halt owing to the COVID-19 pandemic which led to a nationwide lockdown and a stall of all film and TV productions. So far, the film crew has shot in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
On Monday, images of Aamir at the Turkey airport did the rounds with speculations that the actor has resumed filming for Laal Singh Chaddha. Although, Kareena was not to be found along with him and has been spotted in Mumbai.
