Mumbai: Yoodlee Films are exploring new avenues when it comes to creating content. Recently the company has teamed up with award-winning director Nachiket Samant for 'Habaddi' - a Marathi feature film that recently went on the floors. The director shot a tricky underwater sequence for the film. It was shot on the outskirts of Mumbai and the lead actor Karan Dave, who plays the role of Manya, had to undergo rigorous training.
Karan happens to be a non-swimmer and underwent training for almost 3 months to prepare for this one. He also had to take diving lessons to get the scene right. Talking about the challenging sequence director Nachiket Samant says, "The scene we shot is an underwater sequence and there is no room for error. We asked Karan who plays the lead in our film to undergo training for the same in order to get it right and he trained three months to make sure he gave the perfect shot."
Yoodle Films head, Siddharth Anand Kumar also said the team really believes in acting out the scene thoroughly instead of faking it. He said, "It's really commendable on the part of the young actor to have learned swimming and trained non-stop for the past three months for the underwater scenes. At Yoodle we have a mandate to shoot only in real locations, so shooting underwater couldn't be faked." Fearless filmmaking is the mantra of the production company. Some of the other content-oriented projects by Yoodlee Films include 'Ajji' or 'Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz' in the earlier months or the soon-to-be-released 'AscharyaF**kIt' and Noblemen.
