After a break of almost two years, Shah Rukh Khan had begun shooting for Pathan, which is an action-packed drama also starring John Abraham and Deepika Padukone. The film is included in YRF’s 50 years slate.
The makers of Pathan are gearing up to shoot at some of the iconic places in the world. Yes you heard it right For those who don’t know only two Hollywood movies have been shot at towering edifices are Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and Fast and Furious 7 starring Michelle Rodriguez Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker, Jason Statham and. This will be the 4th time that Shah Rukh Khan will create history by shooting at these different locations. Earlier, SRK’s Swades was the first to be shot at NASA, which was followed by Jab Tak Hai Jaan at Discovery Channel headquarters, then Fan, which became the first Indian film to be shot at Madame Tussauds.
A source revealed, “The idea is to go one notch above what’s already done so far. Apart from Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious franchise, not many films have been shot inside Burj Khalifa and Pathan will be among the first few Indian films (probably the first) to have actual visuals of the tower from inside. A big-scale action scene centred around Burj Khalifa is in the offing from the team of Pathan.”
He further added, “It’s a prolonged action sequence designed by an international stunt team, and one can expect spectacular visuals on the screen. It’s a culmination of Siddharth Anand, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan’s vision, to shoot a massive action scene at Burj Khalifa. Don’t be surprised if you find SRK fighting on the top of the tower just like Tom Cruise, when you watch Pathan on the big screen. However, all the details of this Burj Khalifa fight scene have been kept under wraps.”
