Neetu Kapoor began filming Jug Jugg Jeeyo on November 16. The actress, sharing a picture of herself getting ready for the shoot, wrote: "Back on set after so many years. To new beginnings and the magic of the movies. I feel your love and presence. From mom, to Kapoor Sahab (Neetu Kapoor's late husband Rishi Kapoor), to Ranbir (son Ranbir Kapoor) always being with me... now I find myself all by myself, feeling a little scared but I know you are always with me."
Neetu Kapoor was last seen in 2013 film Besharam that featured her son Ranbir in the titular role.
