Vikram also shared how everything at Mannat gets checked by security, like an airport or big five-star hotels. Vikram shared:
"I was starstruck to see Shah Rukh Khan. He called us to his house, to Mannat, when we were going to meet him for the first time. The house is amazing and we went into the lift; there were a lot of security checks. There’s a huge hall, big entrance, lobby, then after that it was just like an airport security kind of a thing, or the one you do when you enter inside a five star hotel. Everything gets scanned.”
