It's a rare feat that has been achieved by the filmmakers of upcoming movie 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari'. The Mumbai University is a 130 year old magnificent heritage building and getting permission to shoot within its premises is quite a hard task. Close sources reveal that the University only agreed to grant permission after thoroughly scrutinising the scene in the film.
It is also being said that the last film to be shot at this location was Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 1994 release '1942: A Love Story'. The reason why the cast and crew opted to seek permission to film inside the premises was because the 'Ferrari...' team was shooting a choir sequence involving school children, that needed the authentic backdrop of the University.
Close sources also reveal that Sharman Joshi, the lead actor, is religiously travelling to all real locations along with the entire cast and doing his scenes amidst the actual environment. After the scene was wrapped up, it was being discussed that Sharman thoroughly enjoyed the experience of shooting on the University campus along with the kids and that he would cherish the memory forever.
Apparently, Rajukumar Hirani, who has written the dialogues and given inputs in the script and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the producer are making sure that the script of the film is shot in original locations as much as possible to keep the authenticity of the movie alive.
The reason behind this is that Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani's protege Rajesh Mapuskar is going the 'Raju way' to make sure that 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' is nothing less than perfect.
It is known to be Rajkumar Hirani's style to go on actual locations along with the entire cast and crew to capture their schedule scenes.
It was also reported that Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, for sometime had put all their projects on the backburner and religiously worked on the pre-production of this film.
Speaking to IBNLive, Rajesh Mapuskar said, "It was like a dream come true to get a chance to shoot at the University campus and capturing the true essence of the heritage after so many years. Sharman was absolutely great and there was lot of positive energy on the sets and everyone was completely focused to do their best."
