Himesh Reshammiya flees riots in Kenya
The production team of Karzzzz had to leave Kenya in a hurry after the civil unrest in the country.
Talking to an Indian newspaper, star of the film Himesh, says, "I really don't know what happened. But when producer Bhushan Kumar and director Satish Kaushik heard about the political unrest in Kenya they shifted location from Kenya to South Africa. Now we're shooting in Johannesburg."
Added Kaushik: "I was very keen to shoot Karzzzz in Nairobi. But there's so much of turmoil across Kenya! I wanted to shoot some key action scenes with Reshammiya involving an aircraft in Mombasa, which is such a beautiful place. But we had to shift location because riots broke out days before we were supposed to start shooting. So we've shifted the action scenes to Cape Town."
"We shot two lavish songs in this location with Reshammiya, his leading lady Sheweta and Raj Babbar. The first song was a party song. Mashallah tera chehra when Reshammiya sees Shweta for the first time. We shot with a group of ballroom dancers from a well-known troupe in South Africa," Kaushik said.
"The second song Rab kare main mar javan was a romantic duet with Reshammiya and Shweta with 50 hip-hop and cabaret dancers. I'm now shooting a background song Dhoom tere ishq ki," the filmmaker said.
