We are shor…we mean…we are sure that those who must have heard the name of the recently released flick Shor In The City must have surely related that to the hit ‘Sex In The City’. Well, we tell you that the film is far more exciting and enticing. Those who have seen the film will surely agree with us and those who haven’t do not miss out on it!
In order to make it more exciting and enticing, Bollywood Hungama brings to you an exclusive behind the scenes images in which directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK recall the experience of the making of Shor In The City. Over to Raj and Krishna:
This one was a real cracker of a shot. This has our sound designer Jordi on top of the rigged taxi! The said scene was being shot in the ‘inside’ of the taxi. The overall experience was damn exhilarating.
This pic is surely the pick of the lot! This has got the three actors having a blast atop a bike! Needless to say that the trio included Tusshar Kapoor, Nikhil Dwivedi and Pitobash.
This snap has Tilak ‘bhai’ meeting crazy Mandook! For those who feel that these names are Greek and Latin, you have to watch the film to know what we are talking about!
This pic has got me and Raj directing Sendhil. Trust us when we say that the location was a ‘real’ house in Versova village. The residents absolutely had no idea what was in store for them when they allowed us to shoot!
Now… that’s what I call as ‘Creative’! In other words, that’s More >

“This is the scene in which Suniel Shetty sees Akshay and Sonam embracing each other. We shot it in Toronto.”
“This scene comes immediately after the ‘Razia‘ song where a drunk girl asks Bobby to kiss her…the famous ‘Kiss-na’ scene. We shot it at Filmistan studios in Mumbai where we had put up a big set for the whole song sequence.”
“This is the scene where Bobby feels that his wife Sonam is having an affair with ‘The King’ (played by Mukesh Tiwari). We were shooting in Vancouver and it was freezing cold.”
