Chirag Sethi’s CST
experience
The remake of the
Tamil film Thuppaki, Holiday has been shot on various locations of Mumbai and
one of the scenes were shot at Chatrapati Shivaji terminus with the other actor
of Holiday Chirag Sethi. Chirag Sethi has played the same role in the Tamil
version of Holiday.
The scene goes like-
Chirag comes at the entrance of the CST station where he has to gun down the terrorist coming
out the station.
Apparently, the securities and authorities on the station were not informed about the film shooting
taking place that day and they thought a terrorist attack had taken place which
made them report to the spot immediately. As soon as there was a lot of chaos
director AR Murgadoss and the DOP got themselves saved with the cameras, but
the sound guys were caught with their properties.
Chirag who was
shooting the scene says, "It was really tough for me as i had to complete
the shot in minimum time and I completed a master shot and a close-up shot in
10 mins. Before I could understand the environment around i had already
completed the shot."
The shooting on that
day was wrapped in one take as the authorities were complaining.
Chirag Sethi was seen
in a cameo role in Million Dollar Arm.
