Abhay beats Bombay rains and camps in Pune
Abhay
Deol’s next, SNAFU will be majorly shot in the youth city, Pune. The
actor has had packed for a long 40 day schedule and left for Pune
driving down himself. Abhay Deol is known for his quirks and has ensured
that he drives down himself on his BMW X6, all the way to Pune from
Mumbai.
A source close to the star confirms, “ Abhay loves
cars and long drives, given a choice he would drive himself rather than
letting his driver do the driving. There has been many instances where
he has jumped over to the driver’s seat even in Mumbai. So Abhay
certainly could not let go of this opportunity for a long drive and that
too in this breezy weather. And why just driving he is somebody who
loves nature so that makes it double the reason for him to drive down.
Bombay Pune drive is fun, I doubt if he would even take a stopover at
Lonavala or somewhere else”.
SNAFU stars Abhay Deol and Manjot Singh in the lead.
The duos were last seen in the much loved Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye. Puja
Gupta is paired opposite Abhay. Abhay plays the role of Kabir Taneja
which has negative shades. He plays a young high-flying corporate
consultant in Mumbai mediating mega deals with most men with Big money.
Coincidentally this is Abhay’s third film with the screen name of
Kabir.
Sethu Sriram will make his directorial debut in
Bollywood, having shot topline projects such as Wanted, Shakti, Tere
Naam, OMG and Dusshera as DoP. Sriram has also directed a Kannada film
titled Godfather.Talking about the Pune schedule, Sriram said, “We have a
packed schedule in Pune and we will shoot all over the city- Malls,
multiplexes, boutiques, hotels et al. The majority of this film is
slated to be shot in Pune. My DoP has arrived from Chennai and the rest
of the crew members have also reached. Abhay will be driving down
himself as he loves long drives. We will do a small puja and then roll
at break neck speed. The team is very excited, after a hectic pre
production the day has finally arrived”.
