Anees Bazmee claims his forthcoming
directorial venture "Mubarakan" is the first Hindi film to have been
shot in the "beautifully looking neighbourhood" Weybridge in England.
While a lot of movies have showcased Indian Punjabis in England, a
majority of them were shot in Southhall and Birmingham as they have a
huge Indian population. However, Bazmee chose a typical British
neighbourhood like Weybridge for "Mubarakan", a family entertainer
about two Punjabi families and two Big fat Indian weddings.
Bazmee said in a statement:"This beautifully looking neighbourhood was
so co-operative with us throughout the shoot. Our producers ensured
that they followed all the rules, informed them everything about the
shoot, and never did anything that would trouble them."
"We not only shot during the day but also in the night. Such detailed
discussions like using light in the night shoot also happened with them
so that it doesn't disturb them. On a few days, when we wanted to shoot
a Christmas scene, they would switch on their decorative lights in the
lawn as a friendly gesture."
"Sometimes, some shootings create so much of inconvenience for the
locals who are staying there that next time when someone goes there
asking permission for a shoot, they immediately shut their doors. We
are the first Hindi film who have shot in such locations and I can
assure you that next time, when a Bollywood film goes there, they would
be welcomed with open arms".
The film stars Arjun Kapoor in a double role as Karan and Charan with
two distinctive looks. His uncle and actor-producer Anil Kapoor
portrays the role of Kartar Singh. Ileana D'Cruz and Athiya Shetty also
star in the movie playing the love interests of Karan and Charan.
Produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Ashwin Varde and
Murad Khetan's Cine1 Studios, the film is slated to have its worldwide
release on July 28.
