MUMBAI MIRROR (December 26, 2019)

On Wednesday, Mirror spotted Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif at the Goregaon Bus depot. The actor duo was shooting for a song in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi after wrapping up the modern version of “Tip Tip Barsa Pani” in Hyderabad earlier this year.

Colour-coordinated in black, the film’s leads were surrounded by back-up dancers and four helicopters as they shook a leg on cue. “The shoot began early in the morning and the song was being choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. It was a larger-than-life set-up with bikes and cars also involved in the sequence,” informs a source.

In the tradition of Rohit Shetty actioners, a sedan suspended from a crane was also a part of the set-up. In October, the filmmaker shot the climax of his next cop-drama in a 20-day schedule with his new leading man, Ajay Devgn’s Singham and Ranveer Singh’s Simmba. The action-packed sequence will be a blend of maar-dhaad and humour, with a dramatic build-up that justifies the crossover in his cop-verse.
