Siddharth Anand’s next film Bang Bang, starring Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan is being shot in Abu Dhabi. The film is an adaptation of the Hollywood flick Knight And Day. Here’s some exclusive dope on the happenings there:

The cast and crew shot at the Hyatt Capital Gate Hotel which was converted into a set of an intelligence agency headquarters. With its high and sloping sides it’s the perfect setting for stunt sequences for a spy movie.

Hrithik and Katrina are staying at Emirates Palace. The cast of Fast & Furious 7 stayed there last month.

Hrithik is referred to as ‘India’s Tom Cruise’ by the film’s South African crew.

Jimmy Shergill was spotted in military gear along with other actors, who were playing military interrogators. Signs reading 'Military Intelligence' and 'Her Majesty’s Secret' Service were placed near the lifts while some rooms were turned into interrogation areas.

The shooting of the film will also take place in some of Abu Dhabi’s famous landmarks, including the bridge to nowhere, the leaning tower (known as Abu Dhabi’s own Tower of Pisa), Breakwater Road and Corniche Road. Though they don’t actually plan to film at the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the landmark may be featured in some way from a distance.

Some high-speed chase sequences designed by Hollywood action director Andy Armstrong have already been shot on the Corniche Road.
