The weather conditions were unfriendly and erratic, with constant dips in oxygen levels: Director Vikas Bahl on shooting Tiger Shroff- Kriti Sanon starrer Ganapath

The excitement for Ganapath has been high ever since the announcement of the film. Featuring the talented Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon alongside the legendary Amitabh Bachchan in the lead, the trailer and the songs of the film Hum Aaye Hai and Jai Ganesha have only added to the anticipation.

Recently, the director of the film, Vikas Bahl went on to reveal some unknown and quite unexpected insights about shooting the film. He said that there was a sequence that was supposed to be shot in  very unfriendly and erratic conditions. 

He said, "While there have been a lot of films that have shot action in Ladakh before, we got really lucky as we shot on a completely new terrain. It was an abandoned town above Lamayuru where most sequences were shot. So yes, the weather conditions were unfriendly and erratic, with constant dips in oxygen levels. But Tiger, Kriti, and Rehman sir really practiced hard on days off as well as in between action scenes, in spite of the challenging weather conditions and low oxygen levels. Our base was far from the actual shoot locations, but the entire crew was very supportive and hands-on, as it was not easy shifting equipment, costumes, props, etc. from one terrain to another. So yes, we did manage to pull off a really difficult shoot well because we had a great team. Also, I would like to give a big thanks and special mention to the locals who not only helped us acclimatize and adapt to the tough weather conditions but helped us every step of the way to complete an otherwise grueling shoot schedule."

Directed by Vikas, the film is all set to release on October 20, 2023.
