Grenades, hedgehogs and knives: Explosive action sequences to make Bawaal Varun Dhawan’s most expensive film so far

Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor are currently keeping busy with filming for their upcoming romantic film, Bawaal. The stars are in Poland at the moment for the latest schedule of filming, and it seems that the film is shaping up to be quite a visual spectacle. Filmed across different locations in Europe, with some spectacular action sequences to boot, the film is reportedly the most expensive project of Varun’s career.

A source close to the film revealed that the makers had shot the film across a number of interesting and expensive locations such as Paris, Berlin, Poland, Amsterdam, Krakow, Warsaw as well as in a few Indian locations as well. The makers were currently working on an intense action sequence in Warsaw, which the makers have envisioned on a grand scale so as to provide a visual treat for audiences.

Opening up about the action sequence in question, the source spoke of multiple outrageous elements that the makers tried to incorporate into the scene. They include more than 45 hedgehogs, grenades, knives and a host of explosives. Action directors and stunt people from across Germany had been called in for the scene, along with a crew consisting of more than 700 people. The makers were planning to start filming the sequence from Thursday.

The scene reportedly involves a daily cost of Rs 2.5 crores per day, shot over a ten day schedule. Bawaal would thus become one of the most expensive films in Varun’s career so far.

The upcoming film is touted to be a unique love story, of a man who has to go through several ordeals to be with the love of his life. The film has been directed by Nitesh Tiwari and bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala, under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson. The film is co-produced by EarthSky Pictures.

Bawaal will hit the big screen on April 7, 2023.
