Most portions of NH10 have been shot in real locations and during one such schedule, Anushka Sharma apparently averted a near-fatal accident.

We hear, the team had decided on shooting that day despite the ongoing dust storm. As part of the scene, a heavy moon box was suspended 150 feet in air with the help of a crane. The shot required the actress to run towards the camera.

"When Anushka began her shot, she saw the moon box, containing lights, swaying due to the storm. She noticed that the skimmer holding the moon box had torn and there was 900 kilos of lights looming over the crew. The venue was evacuated instantly. Had she not realised it on time, there would have been a disastrous accident," informs a unit hand.
