One & a half Crore rupees for 1 scene of Jugaad
Producer Sanddeep Kapur has spent more than one & a half crores to recreate the scene of demolition of his own office. Why spend so much of money for scene? “I don’t want even one frame of this film to look artificial or unrealistic. This is my true story so there will be no compromise. When the actual demolition happened, there was genuine crowd of people, so many bulldozers and many channels with their OB vans. So we did the same. Naturally it became expensive procedure. Only difference was the location. Instead of Delhi we shot at a similar location in Noida,” comments the producer Sanddeep Kapur.
For this realistic scene, Sanddeep had used five camera, there were 3 bulldozers, there was a crowd of more then 500 people, besides the labourers, there were hundred police personals on the scene, almost all the channels were there with there Ob Vans to cover the shoot, five action directors were flown from Mumbai to coordinate the scene.
But the icing on the cake was when director of the film Anand Kumar took matters in his hands, “Since the scene was looking little weak on camera, I decided to bring reality into it. Although we had huge crowd on the ground but roofs were empty. So I asked the labourers to actually break a boundary wall of one building. The minute they started doing it, people came out of their homes, huge number of women actually came out on their roofs believing that municipal office has actually come out for demolition. There was so much real frenzy around and we got the perfect shot.”
