The movie was being shot in Allahabad, aka today’s Prayagraj. According to media reports, all the lead actors in the film were being eyed by Uttar Pradesh gangsters.

Vivek revealed that he and Ajay often played pranks on set while filming Omkara, including this memorable one on Saif.
Oberoi said that while they were shooting for a scene for the film in Prayag temple, they heard about some real Bahubalis (gangsters) who had their eye on them. He revealed that while Ajay and he were done with the shoot, it was just Saif’s whose take was left.
The Masti actor continued, “So we were shooting the scene in the morning, and luckily me and Ajay were done with our portions, and we were ready to leave on the chopper. Saif was yet to shoot his scenes, and we kept on teasing him for that, saying things like ‘ we are going year, our shooting is over or ‘ hope you have enough security around.’”
Vivek further added, “We had just sat in the chopper when we later saw Saif bolting towards us after his scene got over. He didn’t change, and he was running topless in a dhoti towards the chopper! It was hilarious.”
