Come wind, come rain, Aditi braves it all

Making films is no cakewalk, but shooting inside the confines of an air-conditioned studio can make things a bit easier. However, shooting in remote locations and bad weather can be extremely challenging. Actor Aditi Rao Hydari had a taste of such a challenge while shooting for a Malayalam project in Manali (Himachal Pradesh). Apparently, the actor had to trek her way to the shoot location, as the area wasn’t accessible by road and was at a high altitude.

According to a source from the film’s unit, the weather at the time of the shoot worsened, adding to the crew’s problems. “In fact, the temperature dropped to below 7 degrees Celsius, making it all the more difficult. However, Aditi understood the predicament and was happy to trek to the location, where a crucial scene was being shot. She even completed her schedule on time without any problems. Aditi is giving her best to the film and is shooting in difficult circumstances.” When contacted, Aditi said, “Shooting in Manali was fun, but it was also really tough. We battled several odds, including snowfall, slippery ice on steep slopes, rain, and really strong winds. And to reach many of our locations, we had to leave our cars behind and climb to a high altitude for the early morning and late night shifts. I’m grateful to the entire team for their concern, love, support, humour, food and selfies.”
