“Veer, I think is the
largest scale film ever made in the country and to pull it off was no mean
feat. One thing I can say is there is nothing cliché about this
film! We began filming in August 2008 but prior to that, to make a film
of this scale, a lot of prep and research had to be done. A very detailed
research of over 8 months on the period, language, behavior, culture etc
has been done by Krishna Raghav to understand the accents, traditions,
valor, attitude, history, music, architecture of that era,” Salman writes
in his latest blog.
Salman further says, “The
film has been extensively shot across Rajasthan (Rajasthan has its own
ways of calling me back, it’s a karmic connection!) - Bikaner, Jaipur,
Sambhar, Dulla and Jodhpur and all over England. The second schedule lasted
60 days, where the film was shot extensively across Rajasthan at prominent
Locations like Mehrangarh fort (Jodhpur) and Ajmer fort (Jaipur). While
talking about sets, I have to add the art director Sanjay Dhabade has done
an excellent job.
“Sanjay and his team had
a crucial job since the film boasted of extravagant sets covering over
400m at times and approximately 500 members of the art department worked
at a time to erect various sets taking from 15–40 days to construct. The
action sequences involve 100s of fighters, 1,000 plus horses, 100s of elephant
and camels, including huge sequences such as, a train robbery and a full
fledged war on the battlefield with a combat between troops of warriors.”
