Taking to Instagram, Dia shared a photo from the highest point at Khardung La.
“I’ve been looking at this image and thinking to myself, did we really do this? Did we manage to truly make this happen? YES we DID You’ll know what and how much this means to each of us when you watch #DhakDhak!!!

A picturesque pass in the Leh district, Khardung La connects the Indus river valley and the Shyok river valley. A motorable road through the pass was built back in 1976. It was opened to public motor vehicles in 1988. Maintained by the Border Roads Organisation, the pass is strategically important to India as it is used to carry supplies to the Siachen Glacier. The road is one of the world's highest motorable roads.
Dhak Dhak is produced by Taapsee Pannu, Pranjal Khandhdiya and Ayush Maheshwari. It has been written by Parijat Joshi and Tarun Dudeja and directed by Tarun. It will hit theatres in 2023. Talking about her co-production, Taapsee said, “At Outsiders Films we aim to produce films that are meaningful and entertaining. We have attempted to give audiences a visual experience that they have rarely seen on screen. Dhak Dhak narrates the story of four women who realise that freedom has to be owned and never given."
