Mumbai For the first time, the entire Burj Khalifa Boulevard was closed to shoot a scene in Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’. Director Siddharth Anand revealed, the toughest action to execute in Pathan was to shoot the fight scene on a moving train. In this scene, along with the moving train, the plane hovering above was also to be shown. All this was to happen in Burj Khalifa Boulevard. No Hollywood film has been able to do this till now.

Shooting this sequence in Dubai seemed impossible. But the Dubai Police and authorities made it possible for us.

He said, my friend, who lives in boulevard, came and he told me that he got circular on this day between this time, you will not be able to reach boulevard, so please make next plan. They were surprised that oh my god.. this is for my film!

Siddharth further says, I said that I cannot believe it. This would not have been possible had they not shared our vision and supported us wholeheartedly. So I want to thank the Dubai Police and the authorities in Dubai.

‘Pathan’ is slated to release on January 25. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, it also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana.(IANS)
