Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Pathaan' is the first Hindi film to be shot at the frozen lake Baikal in Siberia: Report

Siddharth Anand's upcoming film, 'Pathaan', starring Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the year. The much-awaited trailer was not only high on action and thrill, it also had some stunning visuals.

According to a latest report in a news portal, the SRK starrer has become the first Hindi film to be shot at the frozen lake Baikal in Siberia. Spilling some beans on the same, the director said that they have ensured that they take the action in 'Pathaan' several notches above what Indian audiences have seen in theatres. He also added that they have only shot action sequences that have never been attempted by any Indian film so far. 'Pathaan' also promises to deliver the best visual spectacle for people and they have shot a high speed bike chase sequence on the stunning frozen Lake Baikal in Siberia.

Elaborating further, the filmmaker added that every equipment needed to shoot this high risk sequence had to be shipped from Moscow which is almost about 2000 kilometres away from where they were shooting. Although it was a huge task, it was very smoothly handled. Siddharth also added that they ended up shooting the most visually stunning chase sequence on frozen ice and biting cold. He also hoped that the sequence will make people jump off their seats because they are truly very happy with how it has shaped up, the director told Bollywood Hungama.

'Pathaan' also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles. It is slated to hit the theatres on January 25, 2023.
