Aamir Khan, talking about the scene in an interview, said there were no special effects. He added that he performed the life-threatening stunt himself.

The film’s producer Mukesh Bhatt recalled the actor committing himself to the role and forgetting his life being at stake.

“I was very tensed that day because if he was late by one second, he would have been crushed by the train,” he said. “He is a very sincere actor and works harder than required. During the shoot, Aamir got so invested that he forgot that his life is at stake.

“It is God’s grace that he got saved otherwise Aamir would be dead today.”
