In a bid to give the natural
look of the movie Baadshaho, director Milan Luthria has left no stone unturned
to give the natural look for the movie.
Yes upcoming film Baadshaho featuring Ajay Devgn,
Emraan Hashmi, Vidyut Jammwal, Ileana D’Cruz, Esha Gupta and Sanjay Mishra has
been shot on real and raw locations of Rajasthan which includes Jodhpur,
Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Ranautar, and Kuldhara. Producers Bhushan Kumar and Milan
Luthria spared no expense in showcasing places which gave a rugged and rustic
feel, as opposed to creating them on sets.
The crew did extensive recces
with local line producers and guides in remote desert areas, where there are no
structures, even network, for miles.
Though people got a glimpse of
these stunning locations in the teaser, not many know about the travel time
that the actors had to put in to reach these locations. While shooting in
Ranautar, the actors had to travel for 103 kms each way every day. Relay
security teams were posted every few Km to convey messages on walkie talkies.
The village itself was unique, with inhabitants who drink only goat's milk all
theirs lives, with not a piece of grain, vegetables, or meat.
The climax was shot in Asia's
largest limestone quarry, 58 kms from Jaisalmer city. Added to this was the 330 Kms distance each
between Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Bikaner. At the end of the shoot, Milan
did a rough calculation and was shocked to realize that they had traveled more
than 5000 Km in all.
Within the famous but
extremely narrow blue lanes of Jodhpur, car transport was tough, and relays of
bouncers were set in place. The actors traveled in auto rickshaws, with Emraan
and Esha once getting into the wrong one in the throng of fans.
Apart from this, the cast and
crew battled extreme ends of the weather spectrum. The temperature in January
when the shoot began was was two degrees, and when it ended in March it was up
to 38 degrees, with accompanying sandstorms.
Director Milan Luthria got
dirty looks from all his actors, but every time they saw the location they had
driven so long to reach, they admitted it left them speechless.
Baadshaho, directed by Milan
Luthria, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar & Milan Luthria releases
on 1st September 2017.
