"War team recreates Indian Airforce Plane Gajraj"

Hrithik Roshan starrer "war" is heavy on action and required a lot of in-air combat sequences. But the producers couldn't get permission from the Indian air force to shoot in a real fighter plane Gajraj.

 So, the producers had to recreate the entire Gajraj interiors and all they had no other details of the inside except just a blueprint of the original plane due to security reasons. So, they recreated the entire plane inside by remodelling it on the American air force plane Hercules which is the same prototype as gajraj.

 "The engine room of the icebreaker ship that was created for another action sequence which had dynamic parts. I once secretly watched that Siddharth got Hrithik and Tiger to flaunt the engine room set and they were all pretty amazed by the show," says Rajat Poddar.

 The film is designed by Rajat Poddar who has earlier worked as Production Designer for the films Barfi, Jagga Jasoos, Gunday, Gangster, Life in a metro, Baaghi, etc.

Hollywood Action Director (Batman) Paul Jennings all praise for the film War!

Hollywood Action Director (Batman) Paul Jennings who is also one of the Action Directors of the film War, praises Rajat Poddar for his outstanding work. When He came to the sets he was amazed seeing how the set has been designed keeping safety measures in mind. "I didn’t realize you guys have so much value for human safety”- says Paul Jennings

Rajat Poddar, who has earlier worked as Production Designer for the films Barfi, Jagga Jasoos, Gunday, Gangster, Life in a metro, Baaghi etc says, “Since the locations are tremendously action-based, so all the sets needed to be made in a very safe way with soft surfaces but keeping all surface textures, molding concepts intact . We experimented on different kind of media, and after a couple of workshops, finally decided to use compressed rubber for the soft surface finish. All the textures, wood, stone, metal, were cast in rubber. The entire ground in Morocco shoot out sequence and all the buildings had a molded soft surface.”

”We crafted an aircraft interior, ship engine room, Audi R8 cars, armored vehicles, esquire of a Moroccan city,  esquire of Syria, Intelligence offices, safe houses, and of course  the dilapidated abandoned castle interior for the climax, all clad in rubber.” He further added.

Starring Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor in the lead, the high octane drama is produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Siddharth Anand
