Talking about the rally shoot, Prakash Jha admits, "We have shot with large crowds earlier also several times. In Raajneeti there were 8000 people in a rally and all were actors from Madhya Pradesh. So managing crowds is not a new experience for us."

While it was business as usual for the production house, the locals were not aware that the city was witnessing a shoot, so real was the whole experience. For Artwork, there were the posters and banners of Sachin Shroff and Anil Rastogi put up throughout the streets. Some of the city people who were passing by the streets just witnessed them standing and waving at the crowd with Phool mala. The camera set up was far and people actually thought Sachin Shroff and Anil Rastogi have entered into politics and are campaigning.

Produced and directed by Prakash Jha, this sensational 9-part series also stars Aaditi Pohankar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Darshan Kumaar, Anupriya Goenka, Adhyayan Suman, Tridha Choudhury, Vikram Kochhar, Tushar Pandey, Sachin Shroff, Anuritta K Jha and Rajeev Siddhartha in pivotal roles. Aashram will release On August 28 On MX Player.
