Come October, Rakesh Roshan’s sequel to Krrish, is all set to go on floors. But time, the shoot would take place in Hyderabad and not Mumbai. The set to be completed by late September has been designed to resemble a business hub in Mumbai so that Hrithik can shoot in the very places without the crowds hounding him while he performs his stunts.
The script of the film requires Hrithik Roshan, the lead actor who plays a superhero to perform hi-octane stunts in the busy streets of Mumbai.
“Hrithik cannot shoot amidst heavy Mumbai traffic. This would require stopping traffic.
The entire city would then come to a halt. Thus shooting in the real streets of Mumbai is practically impossible. Hence, the filmmakers required to have a set erected which would represent Mumbai,” revealed a source.
“The idea is to recreate the posh Bandra Kurla Complex. Rakesh Roshan first went to ND studio in Karjat but decided it was not possible to go ahead with the design there. The design would have required him to build roads in the studio, which was not feasible. Plus he was also looking at reducing the production cost as much as possible and building a set in Mumbai would be far more expensive than building one in Hyderabad,” says the source.
