Shoots at the iconic
Kakori Railway Tracks for Bullett Raja!!
Tigmanshu Dhulia is one
of the most acclaimed Directors of our country. His style of film making and
portrayal of unexplored genres of cinema is commendable. Right from being a closely
knit film to leaving no loose ends in any part, he does everything just right!!
For his upcoming action
drama Bullett Raja, Tigmanshu Dhulia has shot in various parts of Uttar Pradesh and
Kolkata.
We hear that the
director loves shooting at historical places, but has never been able to make
such a place a part of his story. But with Bullett Raja, he worked around a
sequence with symbolic references to the freedom struggle in India.
A major sequence
of the film has been shot at Kakori. Kakori is the same place the major
robbery in the Indian History occurred which was led by late Chandrashekhar
Azad against the British Rule.
Tigmanshu Dhulia always wanted
to shoot at Kakori and he made the most of it with his film Bullett
Raja, as the subject suits it!
What we hear is that the
action sequence in Kakori which went on for 3 days was one of the most
difficult and challenging sequences of the film.
A source close to the
team said, ‘Kakori train by pass is a beautiful location to shoot as it is not
densely populated. We did extensive
recce to make a note of the train arriving pattern. The crew used to be
informed 15 minutes in advance, to avoid any kind of damage or causality. The
safety measures taken to shoot this part were abundant to avoid any kind of
mishaps. This place is not much known in the film industry.
'Bullett Raja got itself
associated with history by shooting at Kakori crossing. I have always been a
student of history and really enjoy shooting at places with great historical
value,'said an elated Tigmanshu Dhulia
Well, with that we can
say Tigmanshu Dhulia takes his film down in history, doesn't he?
Releasing on 29th November, Bullett Raja is
premised on fictional mafia based in Uttar Pradesh starring Saif Ali
Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Jimmy Shergill, Vidyut Jamwal, Gulshan Grover, Raj Babbar and Chunky Pandey.
