The set of the village is being constructed in the FILM CITY which is similar to QILLA RAIPUR, a village in LUDHIANA, where majority of the youth migrates to Foreign countries in search of JOB, which also serves as BACKDROP for DUNKI along with inspiration behind HIRANI's attempt to make a film on IMMIGRATION through DONKEY FLIGHT.

Other than this, the film will also be shot in DUBAI, AMSTERDAM and in UZBEKISTAN before concluding the shoot in VANCOUVER by end of this year.
