Delhi may be in the grip of a searing heat wave, but that didn’t stop Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, and Anupam Kher from showing off their action chops while shooting for Sooraj R Barjatya’s Uunchai under the burning sun at Humayun’s Tomb in the capital.

“Work done in the sweltering heat of the day...mostly in training coincidentally for physical conditions...and they were strenuous and demanding,” wrote Big B on his blog, posting pictures from the film’s shoot.

After days of shooting at multiple locations across Delhi, like old Delhi, Daryaganj and Greater Kailash, the film’s production team says they managed to secure permission to shoot at Humayun’s Tomb at the last minute.

A source tells us, “We had been visiting the ASI office for weeks to get the permission, with no luck. Finally, it did happen at the last minute.”
