Bollywood took over downtown Vancouver's West Hastings Street Thursday morning where actor Saif Ali Khan was shooting an action sequence for his upcoming film Phantom.
Dressed casually in a red-checked shirt over a grey T-shirt and blue jeans, Khan looked relaxed and ready for the stunt.
"It is basically an action sequence that we are shooting only with Saif in Vancouver," Aditya Singh, who is the line producer for Phantom, told Vancouver Desi.
A camera crew and equipment blocked the middle of the Hastings and Thurlow Street intersection, where crowds gathered to watch the Bollywood star in action.
The chase scene required Khan to drive and stop at the signal where a car bumps him from behind and scrapes his vehicle from the side before driving away.
Khan's double was seen hanging around the scene wearing the same checked shirt and jeans, but Khan did the stunt himself.
Vancouver is being projected as an unnamed U.S. city in the film, which has been shot around the world, said Singh.
Phantom is a counter-terrorism drama starring Khan and Katrina Kaif. The film began shooting last year in Beirut and the two actors were recently snapped shooting in London as well.
But Kaif was not in Vancouver, where only action sequences were being shot, Singh said.
Security arrangements were in place to prevent accidents involving pedestrians and manage the fans during the shoot.
Coordinators occupied corners of the streets, communicating over walkie-talkies and managing the shoot smoothly.
A spot boy made sure nobody was hungry and circulated a tray of sandwiches between shots.
The crew will be filming at different locations in Vancouver over the next few days, Singh said.
Phantom, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Kabir Khan, is slated for an early 2015 release. It is about life after the 2008 Mumbai 26/11 terror attacks.
The film crew will be in Vancouver until this weekend, after which they will fly back to India, said a production co-ordinator at the shoot.
We still have some shooting left after returning to India, said Singh adding that working in Vancouver was like shooting in the Canadian film capital.'
Vancouver is the only city in Canada where the Phantom is being shot. It was a better city logistically and the government here was very supportive with permission and the filming process, Singh said.
