Hrithik To Fly To Varanasi, Patna For Shooting Will Meet Nitish Kumar

Except, that the film Super  30  won’t be shot in Patna initially but in Varanasi.

Says a source in the know, “Producer Madhu Mantena and director Vikas Bahl wanted to shoot in Patna. But the practical impossibility of controlling crowds in Bihar obstructed this urge to be authentic. So now  Hrithik shoots with Bahl and television actress Mrunal Thakur who plays Hrithik’s wife, in Varanasi from the first week of February Thereafter Hrithik moves to Patna briefly to visit Anand  Kumar’s home and get a feel of where he lives, and how.

During his visit to  Patna Hrithik will meet the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who is very close to the real Anand Kumar.

“In fact, Anand will be joining the Super 30 team in  Varanasi for a brief while. The entire film will be made under his supervision.

This is not the first time that a Bihar-based Bollywood film is being shot outside the State. Prakash Jha shot almost all his Bihar-based films outside Bihar.

Last year, Arjun Kapoor shot in Patna for two days for Mohit Suri’s 2 States.

“Hrithik too will shoot in the State Capital. But the majority of the fill be shot in Varanasi,” informs the source.
