Which is the longest chase sequence ever that has featured in an Indian film? Cinephiles may come up with different answers, but all of them will be erased from record books very soon as the makers of Prabhas’ “Saaho” are gearing up to shoot a 20 minute-long chase sequence, the longest to feature in an Indian film, in Dubai.
The film’s next schedule will kick-start in the UAE very soon, where the unit has planned this spectacular chase sequence. It will involve the use of several bikes, cars and other vehicles, and it will be performed under the supervision of Hollywood action choreographer Kenny Bates, who is known for his exemplary work in Hollywood blockbusters such as Transformers, Mission Impossible, Rush Hour and Die Hard. Prabhas will undergo intense cardiovascular training, weight training, and plyometric obstacle races to prep up for the shoot of this adrenaline pumping chase sequence.
Though permissions are yet to be procured, the makers wish to shoot a major part of this sequence at the Burj Khalifa. They opine that the city’s skyscrapers make it the perfect backdrop for shooting some key chase sequences since “Saaho” is a futuristic action entertainer. If they fail to procure permission to film at the iconic tower, they have already zeroed in an alternative, Abu Dhabi’s renowned World Trade Center and Etihad Tower, to film the sequence.
A prelude to the chase sequence has already been shot in Hyderabad in the last schedule. As director Sujeeth wants to retain continuity, he has planned to kick off the shooting of this lengthy sequence within two weeks. Considering that it’s an outdoor shoot, and it will be difficult to keep Prabhas’ look under wraps, makers have planned to shoot an extended portion of this chase sequence in remote sections of Abu Dhabi.
