4) Fake Tomatina Festival
“You can’t centre your film around Spain and not have the Tomatina,” Zoya Akhtar had said.
Since the famous La Tomatina festival that featured in the ‘Ik Junoon’ song was shot during the off-season, the makers had to recreate it from scratch with 16 tonnes of tomatoes specially flown in from Portugal!
Oooh la la to the tomato-throwing goodness!
5) Nude Mood
The Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava beach in Spain was also featured in the movie.
Zoya thought it was the perfect location to shoot Katrina Kaif’s introductory scene. However, on the day of the shoot, the beach was swarmed with NUDISTS.
The crew had to repeatedly stay on high alert to ensure the naked peeps didn’t enter and end up accidentally flashing everyone in the shot.
“I had kept the entire crew on high alert to keep away the nudists, who were getting in the frame. Soon, the crew got used to the drill, but it still took about three days to finish shooting the entire sequence,” Zoya had revealed.
