KJo was featured on First Cinema Edition of Travel + Leisure India. He said, “Ranbir was traversing through the city of Paris. I think we got a really strong lens into the city and there was a romanticisation of that already very romantic city, which I love,”Revealing his most favourite outdoor shoot, he said it was in Egypt for the song Suraj Hua Maddham from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, “We shot against the pyramids, but that was the least exciting part. It’s when we went into the Farafra desert, where there were these beautiful white limestone formations — it was surreal,”
