The southern filmmaker, who made inroads in Hindi movies with blockbuster “Ghajini”, also tagged as the creator of the Rs.100 crore club in Bollywood, seems to have impressed Powell as well.
“He is a man of few words...but he knows what he wants,” said Powell and added that shooting was “quicker here than Hollywood or Europe as they get it right in the first take. The whole crew, even the catering has been very good.”
The best part about the fight scenes was that they were canned without any mishap.
“So far we had no incidents, no mishaps... no one had a broken nose or injured fingers. It all worked according to the plan, thank god,” said Powell who had also worked on “Skyfall” (2012).
Powell also lauded Indian crew's professionalism.
And why not?
Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah has a reputation for maintaining high production values and quality in his films.
The coming together of Shah and Akshay, the team behind blockbusters like “Waqt - Race Against Time”, “Singh is Kinng” and “Namastey London”, is powerful enough to lure the audience to the theatre to watch how the action star pulls of the new martial arts in the film.
So this summer, audiences will be gripped with action and thought-provoking drama interspersed with romantic elements when “Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty” hits the screens.
