Arun Saxena is detained in a mental hospital. He attempts to escape but is stopped by the doctors. Arun's mother, Jamuna, sits in front of a temple every day with her back turned to God, vowing to only face God when Arun returns.
Inspector Vikram Singh, a young and honest police officer, is asked to visit Arun along with his superior to assess Arun's condition. Arun becomes aggressive when Sapna is mentioned. The doctors administer a shock treatment to make Arun unconscious. Vikram is moved by Arun's behaviour and believes that Arun is not insane, but deeply in love.

In January 2015, Rohit Shetty announced a project with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead which would be their second collaboration after the 2013 film Chennai Express. Shetty stated that he would start filming in March 2015.[11][12] Shetty paired actress Kajol with Khan, making it the seventh time they were cast opposite each other. He also signed actor Varun Dhawan who was reportedly playing Khan's brother, while actress Kriti Sanon was signed opposite him and Kajol's sister.[13]
Principal photography began on 20 March 2015 with Dhawan in Goa.[14][15] Khan and Kajol first joined the crew for filming in Bulgaria from June 2015.[16] Later that month, the first song from the film was shot on Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, in Bulgaria.[17] The schedule there was wrapped up by late July.[18] In August 2015, a romantic song featuring the lead pair was shot in Iceland.[19] The entire team then left for Hyderabad in early September to shoot what was touted to be the final schedule of filming.[20] However, the work in Hyderabad was completed by late October, and filming officially came to an end with a brief schedule in Goa, the same location where it was started.[21] In December, after the promotions had commenced, another song was shot in haste. It featured all four lead actors and had to be played simultaneously with the end-credits.[22]
On 14 December 2015, in the United Kingdom, the film received a 12A classification from the British Board of Film Classification for "moderate violence". The film's UK distributor chose to remove thirteen seconds to obtain this rating (the excised material being scenes involving stronger violence than possible for a 12A rating). An uncut 15-rated version is available.[2]
Khan expressed disappointment with the film's domestic performance in India.[8] Kajol was also reportedly disappointed, with reports claiming that she regretted turning down the lead role in a Sujoy Ghosh film in favour of Dilwale.[33][34]
