Arya on shooting up in the air and underwater for Captain: ‘An excruciating experience’

Arya said, “There is a particular action sequence staged between my character and a 120-ft alien creature. I never expected that it is going to be such an excruciating challenge. When Shakti informed me that he has decided to shoot the climax in Munnar, I was a little doubtful if I would be able to do it since it was December, when the winter is at its peak. What turned out to be more challenging was to shoot the action sequence under the rain effect. I was lifted to a height of 20ft using a crane for the sequence. When I thought everything was over, Shakti informed me about another sequence, which had to be filmed 20 ft underwater. This was in the peak winter season. So, the whole process was strenuous. And now, we are happy to see that our hard work has paid off well with the top-notch final output. I am sure audiences will have a great theatrical experience watching those sequences.”

Captain is produced by Think Studios in association with actor Arya’s The Show People. Apart from Arya, the star cast also includes Simran, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Harish Uthaman, Kavya Shetty, Gokul Anand, Suresh Menon, Bharath Raj and Ambuli Gokul.
