The idea for a sequel had been conceptualized ever since the first movie released and it was announced byFarhan Akhtar shortly after the release.^[4] However, he was involved with other commitments while Shah Rukh Khan needed to recover from a shoulder surgery so he gave his dates to Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and My Name Is Khan because they required very little physical exertion. In February 2010, Akhtar revealed that the script and locations for the movie had been finalized. The film marks Farhan Akhtar's return to direction after a gap of nearly 4 years. Shahrukh Khan become the first celebrity to register a tattoo in his name, when the 'D' tattoo ported on his arm in the film was registered for copyright protection. Anand Subaya was chosen as the main editor of the film, with Ritesh Soni being roped in to take care of the songs.
In Auguest 2011, the makers of the film announced that they would release the film in 3D. The idea of the 3D conversion occurred to Farhan's while shooting for the film, but after conducting various conversion tests inLos Angeles, the producers decided to convert the entire film. Also, the director of photography had shot the film with special lenses which made it easier to give it a third dimension. Ritesh Sidhwani revealed that he had the idea of converting the film into 3D after seeingHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Chuck Comisky, a veteran S-3D innovator who supervised the 3D stereo and visual effects on Avatar andSanctum, has been roped in for the film.

While in Berlin, Khan took a 300 feet jump for a scene.^[14] In December 2010, shooting ended in Berlin. In February 2011, the actors flew to Malaysia for the second phase of the shoot where a few scenes were shot in a real prison with real prisoners behind the jail and a complete section of the prison block was made available to shoot. In order to avoid any hitches, special crew t-shirts were made to differentiate crewmembers from the prisoners as it was a high security zone.
