'Jabariya Jodi' shoot in Lucknow's ambedkar park
Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra kicked off the shoot of their upcoming film, 'Jabariya Jodi', in Lucknow in September. The storyline is set in Bihar where the actor plays a man who has made a business of abducting grooms with Parineeti as his childhood love.
Though the film is based in Bihar, the makers are shooting extensively in Lucknow - the city of nawabs in a guerrilla shoot set up since the last two months. Recently, the makers were scouting for a location for a celebration scene for the movie. The recce team was looking for an elaborate park type set up and that kind of huge space was only possible at Uttar Pradesh's famous Ambedkar park.
The sequence to be shot was a big one and needed an elaborate setup. The Ambedkar park is one of the biggest parks in UP and the director was keen to shoot there. The team sorted permissions overnight and took about 3 days to do the set up before starting the actual shoot.
The director wanted to showcase the celebratory scene in a certain way and hence he scouted the park extensively before beginning to shoot there.He has shot at some unexplored locations inside the park to portray the same through a completely different lens.
"We have shot for both day and night sequences. And since its dark after sunset and ours was a celebratory scene, we wanted to have the entire park lit up," said Prashant Singh.
