Making of the film:
The film is shot in breathtaking locales of Himachal Pradesh. We had a firm belief that Himalayas are blessed with nature’s bounties which are unexplored by filmmakers. For the Pre-production it took more than 2 years - for scouting virgin locations and developing an engaging script. We used Arri 435 Camera with a state of art lenses and apt Kodak film stock, the film unit had more than 45 crew members including artists, technicians… apart from 70 support staff from Himachal who made makeshift Tents, carried Generators, Jimmy Jib’s, Outdoor Equipment… to a height of 14,000ft. We pitched our tents and stayed there for 4 days to complete the climax of the film. All the units worked with passion for making this film an international masterpiece.
