Any outdoor shoot is difficult to film as you have to deal with several factors, like traffic, weather and the curious crowd. Since most of Happy Ending was shot in Los Angeles where according to director Krishna D.K. the crowds were not terrible, but they had a lot of rules to follow.
“There’s one particular scene in the movie where Saif’s (Ali Khan) character chases Ileana’s (D’Cruz) character in a car. The street in LA became our set as we had to close down an entire bridge and create a highway and fill it up with 50 of our own cars and trucks. The time limit given to us was from morning to three in the afternoon and unfortunately, it turned out to be an extremely hot day! Though Saif is an enthusiastic driver, the heat and the fact that he had to drive several times became a bit too much. There was a time when he almost banged into the camera. I guess that was one of the most complex scene to shoot,” said the director.
Happy Ending which is produced by Khan, Dinesh Vijan and Sunil Lulla, releases on November 19.
