While it's known that Ajay Devgn's Shivaay stars two foreign actresses - Erika Kaar (Poland) and Abigail Eames (United Kingdom) - in pivotal roles, not many know that foreign technicians constitute the majority of his crew as well.

During the two years that he spent doing recce in Canada, Poland, Italy, Serbia and Austria - before finalising Bulgaria's snow-peaked locales - Ajay personally chose each and every member of his crew.

The result: apart from Indians, team Shivaay comprises specialists from US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Austria, Sweden, Korea, Vietnam and Turkey. Exemplifying unity in diversity, the entire unit worked in tandem, shooting in minus 25 degrees celsius temperatures.

They are highly talented, too. In fact, some sequences of the action adventure drama have been shot with experts who have worked on Hollywood films like The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, The Expendables, The Mechanic and The Constant Gardener.
