Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan climax shot at 10,000 ft above sea level

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan‘s upcoming film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, is the most awaited film of the year. The makers of the film have shot it all over the picturesque places of India, but they kept the best for the last. Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s climax scene was shot at the base of Thajiwas glacier in Sonmarg. The place lies around 10,000 feet above sea level.

Kabir Khan said, “The climax of the film was shot at the base of the Thajiwas glacier in Sonamarg, which is 10,000 ft above sea level. The 300-strong technical crew had to trek for an hour through snow every morning to reach the location. Added to this, were the 7,000 extras that we had on set every day. Transporting them in buses, and then embarking on the hour-long trek was a huge logistical challenge for the production. To add to their woes were the sub-zero temperatures, and hail storms that would interrupt the shoot.”

CEO of Salman Khan Films Amar Butala said, “We shot the climax in the heart of Kashmir, surrounded by snow-clad mountains. The sheer scale at which it is shot is overwhelming. Kabir has shot an incredible climax with Salman and Kareena, which is packed with action and emotion. We always knew this would be a challenging shoot, but the cast and crew, despite 18-hour days, managed to do it, and the results are spectacular.”

‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles and is scheduled to release on Eid 2015.
