| New Delhi, June 1: From locations, costumes and language - director Abhishek Sharma is taking care of everything to add true flavours of Karachi to his comedy "Tere Bin Laden", about a news reporter from Pakistan desperate to migrate to the US in pursuit of his dream.
Pakistani singer Ali Zafar plays the protagonist in the film that also features veteran theatre personalities Barry John and Piyush Mishra. The film, produced by Walkwater Media, has been shot in areas of Mumbai and Hyderabad which bore close resemblance to streets in Karachi.
According to a source from the production unit, the costume designer was sent to Pakistan to research on the clothes worn there and also buy some for the movie.
"The costumes were brought in from Pakistan. The costume designer went to markets in Pakistan where women normally do not venture out, just to source authentic clothes for the film. Typical radio sets, hoardings and products were also brought to the location," said the source.
For a specific scene, a truck with typical artwork from Pakistan was required in the film. When the director of film and director of photography, Santosh Thundyil, spotted one such truck at a traffic light in Hyderabad, they jumped with joy.
"The truck driver refused to lend his truck. It was a funny scene as Abhishek and Santosh jumped out of their car in the middle of the road just to convince him. They finally managed to do so," added the source. (IANS) |
