Previously, talking about the choice of location for ‘Rudra – The Edge of Darkness’ and the story behind it, director Rajesh Mapuskar said, “There were seventy locations we shot across. Some of them have not been seen before. These locations needed multiple recce and visits to understand the area, lighting, logistics. But most of our locations have been seen before – it is, after all, Mumbai meri Jaan!”
He adds that it was imperative to expose the city in a different manner through the locations, “So the creative decision was to expose the city in a way it hasn’t before. I hope when you see many of your familiar landmarks, you see something intriguing and different in the shot-taking.”
Sharing the thought that went behind choosing the locations to shoot, he said, “At VT Selfie Point, we had Ajay Devgn and Atul Kulkarni in the middle of that busy crossing at peak hours, enacting a key scene. We shot nine to ten pages there.”
