"Happy New Year" ("HNY") team is back in
Dubai to shoot additional scenes and
landmarks for the film.
The Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC)
on their official Facebook page confirmed
that the crew of "HNY" is back in Dubai to
shoot.
Director of the film Farah Khan has shot
some exclusive scenes for the film with lead
actors Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone,
Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman
Irani last year.
However, this time the director and the
lead actors were missing from the scenes.
"We are excited to have the crew of the
much anticipated #Bollywood movie
#HappyNewYear back in #Dubai to film
some additional scenes here. Which Dubai
landmarks do you think will feature in the
film?" the film commission posted on
Facebook.
"The Dubai Film and TV Commission would
like to thank the Dubai Police for extending
their support to the much anticipated
Bollywood movie, 'Happy New Year' whose
crew are in #Dubai to shoot additional
scenes."
"HNY" is a musical thriller which is set to
release on Diwali this year. The film had
three weeks long shooting scheduled in
Dubai last year.
Shah Rukh starrer became the first full-
length Hindi film that has been shot almost
fully in the Emirates, The National
reported. The important scenes of the film
starring all the lead actors were filmed
entirely in the UAE last year.
The DFTC worked with the production team
Red Chillies Entertainment, for a year to set
up the shoot in the Gulf country. During
the three weeks shoot, DFTC earned
approximately $5 million.
"This is not just a dance scene, but about
80-90 percent of the whole film that was
shot in Dubai. We had to learn the logistics.
Normally we've only dealt with a maximum
of 40 people who come to do a dance scene
in two to five days," Jamal Al Sharif, the
chairman of the film commission said,
according to The National.
For 25 days, the production company
booked around 180 rooms at the Atlantis
hotel for the entire cast and crew. Al Sharif
believes that Bollywood films shooting in
the UAE will have positive impact on the
country gross domestic product (GDP).
"This will impact culturally on what they're
doing. They're creating jobs and we're
hoping that further Bollywood films will
support [our] GDP. We are expecting the
next door to open for Bollywood to be in
Dubai and the Middle East," Al Sharif
added. 'Happy New Year' Team Back in Dubai to Shoot Additional Scenes
