Hrithik and Katrina call it a wrap in Abu Dhabi

May 19, 2014
After filming 12 hours of relentless action sequences every day in Abu Dhabi for nearly three weeks, Bollywood's bankable stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif are likely to call it a wrap for Bang Bang on Tuesday.
Their next stop after the sunny locales of the UAE capital is the picturesque Prague, industry sources told tabloid!. The local production partners, twofour54, did not respond to a request for comment.
The hit Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara pair, who are busy at work recreating Hollywood film Knight And Day in Bollywood style, are pouring all their energy into making the Siddharth Anand-directed thriller believable.
So much so that the set of Bang Bang is a heavily-guarded fortress with security being beefed up considerably, compared to past Bollywood shoots in the UAE. Rumour has it that the crew have to deposit their mobile phones at a counter every morning for the fear of images being leaked " even though the plot details ofKnight and Day are just a DVD watch away.
Unlike the affable Happy New Year team led by Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in Dubai who made multiple appearances across the city during its filming last September, the Bang Bang duo has preferred to keep a low profile.
The actors have also declined to interact with the local press, saying they want to focus on their roles.
Produced by Fox Star Studios and twofour54, Bang Bangwill be released in the UAE on October 2, three weeks before the annual Abu Dhabi Film Festival. But according to our sources, the Bang Bang team is planning an extensive promotional drive in the UAE closer to the release of the film.
Bang Bang has been in the spotlight since filming began in May 2013, when Roshan suffered a head injury while performing an action sequence in Thailand, leading to surgery. The actor also ended his 13-year marriage to wife Sussanne, so his reticence to speak publicly " as we also saw at the recent IIFA awards " isn't surprising.
