Behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Namastey London features film crew members from London, including Kevin Westley, along with Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, and other members of the production. Director Vipul Amrutlal Shah explains that the extensive filming in London gave him an opportunity to work within a system influenced by Hollywood-style production methods. He recalls that the film was among the early Indian productions to work with a complete crew from London. Akshay Kumar describes the strict punctuality expected on the London set, saying that crew members were unhappy when actors arrived even five or ten minutes late. He explains that adapting to this discipline became a challenge and that during the 45-day schedule, he began arriving 15 to 20 minutes before his reporting
