Lootere tells the intense story of a hijacking in foreign waters that could risk a man’s life. Filming in unusual places brings its own challenges. Jai Mehta, making his directorial debut with Disney+ Hotstar’s Lootere, has shared his experience shooting extensively in a foreign country.
Elaborating on the same, Jai Mehta, the director of Disney+ Hotstar’s Lootere said, “We filmed Lootere in a place called Khayelitsha, and it is the largest slum in the world; it’s bigger than Dharavi. It’s huge, and we were filming there. No one has filmed there as extensively as we have, and I do not think anyone can either. Filming action sequences in the slums was another challenge in itself because how do you communicate to a slum that is the size of a city that ‘Hey man, the gunshots that you will hear are just from a movie scene. They are not real.’ People would start panicking because they thought it was real.“
Will the crew escape or will the pirates take over? Watch on Disney+ Hotstar from March 22 to find out.
