Chase sequence in Hrithik starrer has Hollywood inspiration
The Anurag Basu-directed venture has action scenes similar to Hollywood action flicks like Bad Boys 2 and Gone in 60 Seconds.
Recently a difficult action sequence was shot in Santa Fe in New Mexico.
The scene required around a month of preparation and was shot over three days.
It is a scene similar to Bad Boys 2 where the villain pushes cars off an automobile mover (the vehicle that transports cars from the factory to the dealer) during a car chase.
