ashmir known for its beauty, weather and the aura
of love have been explored by a lot of films to
recreate romance for the big screen.But Salman
Khan always thinks hatke and adds his style to his
films. While everyone has made a love story in Kashmir, Salman Khan will be seen doing integral action
sequences in Kashmir for his upcoming film Bajrangi
Bhaijaan.Salman and director Kabir Khan shot the most
spectacular and grandest chase sequences in Kashmir.
The maker's team had an extensive shoot of 45 days in
some of the most beautiful spots in Kashmir. The makers had to shoot some of the most crucial scenes there.
Kabir was keen on shooting this sequence in only a select special location and he himself handpicked each
one of them. He hunted for the unexplored location in
Kashmir with beautiful surroundings.The film was largely shot in Pahalgam, Chandanwadi, Sonmarg, Aru, and
small towns near these places. It was one of the most
thrilling experiences for the entire team. The entire team
would trek for more than an hour to reach the desired
locations. With Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kabir and Salman will
be revealing the sides of Kashmir which no one has ever
seen before. Some of the bit from the Kashmir shoot
has been revealed in the trailer which has got raving response from the audience.Kabir Khan shares, "The BB
climax was shot at the base of the Thajwas glacier outside Sonamarg. Located at 10 thousand feet above sea
level... the 300 strong technical crew had to trek for an
hour through snow every morning to reach the location.
Added to this was were the 7000 extras that we had on
set every day. Transporting them in hundreds of buses
and then embarking on the hour long trek was a huge
logistical challenge for the production. To add to their
woes was the sub zero temperatures and hail storms
that would interrupt the shoot."We shot the climax in the
heart of Kashmir surrounded by snow clad mountains,
the sheer scale at which it is shot is overwhelming. Kabir
has shot an incredible climax with Salman and Kareena
packed with action and strong emotions. We always
knew this would be a challenging shoot, but the cast
and crew despite sub zero temperatures and 18 hour
days managed to stay the course and the results are
spectacular," says Amar Butala, co-producer and COO
of Salman Khan Films.
