Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey says shooting in Delhi is more expensive than shooting in some of the foreign locations. Pandey travelled extensively while shooting for his upcoming spy action-thriller series, Special Ops. "We have travelled to locations where we felt the story needed to move. We travelled and shot in locations where we could tell the story better and these include places like Azerbaijan, Turkey, the UAE and Jordan," Pandey said. Sana Khan Breaks Down At The Press Meet Of Neeraj Pandey’s Hotstar Show Special Ops (Watch Video)

"You won't believe -- shooting in Delhi was more expensive than shooting in some of the foreign locations. The story called for some heavy mounting and hence was shot at international locations," he added. Pandey has directed the series along with Shivam Nair. The eight-episode Hotstar Specials spy action-thriller series is based on the role of Indian intelligence in a series of real terror attacks that India has faced over the last 19 years. Special Ops: Meher Vij Is Excited About Her Action Avatar in Neeraj Pandey’s Hotstar Series
