She then shared a photograph of herself in the 24-meters tall Hidimba Devi temple, which is locally known as Dhungari Temple built in 1553 by Maharaja Bahadur Singh. It is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, wife of Bhima, a figure in the Indian epic Mahabharata. The temple is surrounded by a cedar forest called Dhungiri Van Vihar at the foot of the Himalayas.

The temple is built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground which was worshiped as an image of the deity.

This will be the first time Sara and Ayushmann will be seen sharing screen space in a film, which is reported to be a “spy comedy”.
