The said scene was shot recently in a sewer in Worli in a span of 2 hours. Speaking about the film, Ravi Jadhav said that Banjo is a film about the unsung banjo artists, who have never gained respect for their art, despite the fact that they have been around for more than 100 years!

When asked about Riteish Deshmukh's reaction to the scene, Ravi Jadhav said that Riteish Deshmukh was game for the same and had no reservations about shooting it. Ravi Jadhav added that, there were precautions which were taken before the final shot, in the form of having a doctor on the set at all times.

Banjo is a musical film with Riteish Deshmukh and Nargis Fakhri in the lead. Produced by Krishika Lulla, the film is slated to release on August 19.
