Snowfall plays games on 'Billa 2' sets

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,May 30 2012]

It wasn’t known to many that two days of shoot of ‘Billa 2’ had to be re-shot at the prestigious Likani Palace to maintain the continuity of an outdoor schedule, thanks to the weather issues.

“It was one hell of an experience for the cast and crew of Billa 2 to shoot in sub zero temperatures. It was fun and though it was difficult to shoot with the snow, the snow added to the look of the film and the scenes are going to look fabulous on big screen. There’s no way we could have brought this effect in artificial means”, says a crew member.

‘Billa 2’ is the first movie to be shot at the Likani Palace that’s President of Georgia’s summer retreat. The film is touted to grace worldwide screens on June 15.

Directed by Chakri Toleti the film is a prequel to 2007 blockbuster ‘Billa’ and will unravel the events that led to an Eelam refugee becoming a dreaded don.
