Shooting at Sikar Jail
To bring the harsh realities of life on to the big screen, director Abhishek Kapoor, shot for a jail sequence for his upcoming film Kai Po Che at Sikar Jail in Rajasthan recently.
"We have extensively shot on outdoor locations, with the aim to make it more authentic and close to real life. And that is why we shot at Sikar Jail in Rajasthan," shared Kapoor, whose film is an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's The Three Mistakes Of My Life.
For Kapoor, just a day's shoot at Sikar Jail, which is about 115 kilometres from Jaipur, turned out to be a memorable experience. "Though I shot at the jail only for a day, it turned out to be quite an eye opener for me," Kapoor said, adding, "It was my first visit to a real jail and a first-hand experience about how people live in jails - a life which is far from our imagination. Life behind bars is very tough and difficult.

I even interacted with the inmates who are serving life sentences. It was depressing to see the pain in their eyes." The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Raj Kumar Yadav and Amit Sadh, and revolves around the lives of three friends.
"This one is not a regular Bollywood film. It's a celebration of life in the real sense. The film depicts modern India and it would be no exaggeration to say that the film is quite similar toSlumdog Millionaire, which puts light on contemporary India," Kapoor said.
