Jannat starring Emraan Hashmi and Sonal Chauhan is definitely a favourite of many. This Vishesh Films’ venture opened our eyes to the big bad world of betting and match-fixing.
No doubt one of Emraan Hashmi’s biggest hits, the actor absolutely stole the show in his impeccable performance as a bookie who let his greed overpower his identity completely. This movie – which gave us chartbuster songs and a really romantic proposal scene – completes 10 years today. On this special occasion, Vishesh Bhatt shared an interesting anecdote that took place while shooting the film in South Africa.
When shooting for an important match sequence in Cape Town, the number of people seated in the stadium were too less. To make it look authentic, usually the VFX expert fills in the empty spaces using computer graphics. However, the crowd was so sparse that they were advised to gather more people to be a part of the scene.
Commenting on the same, Vishesh Bhatt said,
“We managed to get inside a live cricket match in Cape Town. It was a New Zealand vs. South Africa ODI match and we went in with large guerilla cameras. Every camera had a director because we wanted to capture all the possible reactions. So the spontaneous reactions that are seen in the movie are taken from the crowd in the live cricket match of December 2007.”
Jannat is truly remembered even today for its evergreen music and Emraan Hashmi’s power-packed performance.
