As told by a close source, due to problems faced while taking the food to that height, all the team had to made survival on eggs and instant noodles.

Similarly, the entire cast had to struggle through worst weather conditions. A source told it was bone-numbing cold and there were habitual power cuts in the hotel in which Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone stayed. Also the heaters were also unavailable.
