Punjabi Flavours | Vipul Amrutlal Shah on the challenges of shooting in Punjab for Namaste England
After treating the audience with the romantic comedy - Namastey London [starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif], film maker and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah is now ready with his next - Namaste England, which stars Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra. The Gujarati director is well known for the unique ‘Punjabi' flavour in his movies. Interestingly, films like Namaste London, London Dreams, Commando among others have been extensively shot in Punjab.
Taking forward the same tradition and franchise, Namaste England is a love story that spans across the landscapes of India and Europe, starting from Punjab, moving to Ludhiana, Amritsar, Dhaka and all the way to Paris and finally - London. The film promises to be a young and refreshing story that traces the journey of two individuals - Jasmeet and Param (played by Chopra and Kapoor).
Talking about his experience of shooting in Punjab again, the director shares, “This time, shooting for Namaste England was very challenging. I have shot for some of my previous films there, but this time, my aim was to showcase Punjab in a very different way. I somehow wanted to show Punjab as the most beautiful and conducive place for a love story to naturally happen.” For this, the director wanted to create a poetic world, where the girl and guy eventually fall in love. He quips, “The production team has done a wonderful job in making every location of Punjab look really good in the movie. Anyone would end up falling in love, in that set up. We have shot in and around more than 100 locations in Punjab. It took us almost a month to scout all the locations.” He further added that there were times when the cast and crew would travel 3-4 hours at a stretch, just to film a particular shot at that location.
The trailer has already given us a glimpse of Param and Jasmeet’s journey. Some of the songs are already creating waves, ranging from the soothing ‘Tere Liye’ to the peppy ‘Bhare Bazaar’ and the recently launched groovy number - ‘Proper Patola’. With the film scheduled to release next week, it would be interesting to see how the audience responds to this entertaining love story.
Presented by Jayantilal Gada (pen) & Reliance Entertainment present in Association with BlockBuster Movie Entertainers, Namaste England is all set to hit the screens this Dussehra - October 19, 2018.

On The Sets | Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra explore the Indo-Nepal border
If Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra's respective Instagram accounts (and stories) are anything to go by, it is clear that the duo are having a great time shooting for their next - Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar. Currently in its second schedule, the cast and crew are shooting for the film at Indo-Nepal Border, making this entertaining thriller the only flick ever to be shot at this location.
Kapoor and Chopra are currently undergoing what is said to be the most challenging shooting experience of their respective careers. Film maker Dibakar Banerjee has taken the lead actors of his directorial, to shoot at the international border of India and Nepal, that is constantly under radar for illegal immigration. In addition, the actors have been filming crucial portions in day and night shifts, amidst freezing temperatures that often go down to 0 degrees.
“Dibakar is filming extremely intense and gritty portions of the film at the Indo-Nepal border. The portions will show the tension between Arjun and Parineeti’s character. These are crucial and defining moments of the film. The area where the two are shooting is exactly at the border and is constantly under alert for illegal immigration and smuggling. People use an inflated rubber tube as a flotation device on the Kali river at the border and make this risky crossing in the thick of a wintry night. So, shooting has been quite difficult. Local authorities have been of tremendous help providing the crew with assistance and necessary security,” informs a source close to the film.
This new information builds more curiosity around the thriller! Knowing Dibakar, is he exploring and filming something around the theme of smuggling with the two lead characters of the film? Guess we won’t know these details anytime soon, and will have to wait till August for answers.
Meanwhile, the shooting schedules of Yash Raj Films’ Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar has been quite adventurous in many ways. The cast and crew braved the Delhi smog during a schedule in the capital city. Next, the film’s crew shot important portions in Jhulaghat - a village in Uttarakhand, which may face the risk of being completely submerged underwater because of the construction of a dam. If it becomes a reality, Banerjee’s film will end up being the only one to have a visual record of this quaint town on the big screen.
Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar will have Kapoor essaying the role of a Haryanvi cop, while Chopra steps into the shoes of an ambitious corporate. Both the actors have reunited after their 2012 hit - Ishaqzaade. The film is scheduled to release on August 3, 2018.
