Alia Bhatt will start shooting for the fourth action film of her career from July 15. Sharvari Wagh, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol are also with her in this film. Its basic plot is woven around patriotism. Those close to her revealed that despite being a spy film, it does not have the typical angle of India-Pakistan rivalry. Instead, Alia and Sharvari's characters will be seen destroying the evil intentions of the country's internal enemies. It will also prominently show the traitors and departmental politics present in the country's intelligence agencies. This film is being directed by Shiv Rawail. Most of the crew members associated with that web series have been repeated on Alia's film as well.
The shooting of the film is to begin in Mumbai from July 15, then the team will leave for Kashmir
Sources say the work of setting up the relevant and necessary intelligence department offices for the film is in its final stages. The set is being created in Mumbai itself. Then the team will head to Kashmir in the coming months. The shooting of this film will begin in Mumbai from July 15. The makers are giving it the shape of a pure action film. There is no romantic angle in the characters of Alia and Sharvari. Both the actresses are playing the role of sisters in it. Anil Kapoor is playing the role of their father, while Bobby Deol has been cast as the villain.
The film will also show the changes in the working methods of the intelligence department in the last 2 decades
According to reports, the story of the film travels from the year 2000 to 2024 i.e. for 24 years. It will also explore the changes in the working methods of the intelligence departments in those more than two decades. Apart from Mumbai and Kashmir, the makers will also go to shoot outside the country. However, that will be done at the end of December this year. At present, it is being decided in which country the shooting will be done. In the first schedule set in Mumbai, only Alia and Sharvari will shoot their parts. Anil and Bobby will join the team in the later schedules.
'Pathan' fame Casey O'Neill taken on board for the action
As far as Kashmir is concerned, that schedule has been fixed in the month of August. There will be a heavy dose of action in this spy film. That's why 'Pathan' fame action director Casey O'Neill has been taken on board for this film, who has previously been the stunt director of films like 'Jack Reacher' and 'Mission Impossible' series.
According to sources, 'The team will go and shoot the important parts in the first month of August. That is because just a month after that, Alia has another big budget film of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, 'Love and War', lined up for shooting. Sources also inform about 'Love and War' that after 'Brahmastra', this will be Alia's second film in which she is opposite Ranbir Kapoor.
Live action and mock up were also being shot for 'Ramayana'
Sources also inform about Alia's husband Ranbir Kapoor's 'Ramayan' that the shooting of 'Love and War' will start according to Ranbir's dates. Sources say…'The makers' aim is to make 'Ramayan' in three parts. However, it will depend on whether the director gets additional budget or not. If that does not happen, the director will complete the film in two parts. The film is being shot continuously under live action and mock up shoots. If the actors are not present or if their special effects have to be shown, then someone else is placed in front of the camera in their place. He is made to wear a green suit. Then further padding of the main actor's face is done on the computer.
A total of 70 days of shooting has been done on 'Ramayana' so far. The first schedule of the film has been shot. Now there is a gap of five months. After December, the makers will start shooting for the second part of the film. So far, only Ranbir and Sai Pallavi have shot. Shooting of Sunny Deol and 'KGF' fame Yash is still left, who are playing the roles of Hanuman and Ravana in 'Ramayana'.
