Katrina Kaif reveals Bharat’s shooting locations

Katrina Kaif appeared in a new video-based question and answer app called Cameos by Google. The actor answered a few questions about her film Bharat. One of them was about the shooting locations of the movie. Answering the question, she said, “So the shooting locations of Bharat was first Malta, then it was Abu Dhabi, then it was in Delhi, then it was in Mumbai. These were the primary shooting locations which we had in the film. There was a small bit shot in Ludhiana as well. The longest schedule, I think was between Malta and Abu Dubai which was extremely hot, but I absolutely loved all of these locations. It was my first time to Malta and I thought it was such a beautiful place and I thoroughly enjoyed my time.”

Just had a fantastic sense of humour also and completely not afraid to also say her emotions, confront her emotions. And the entire story was something which I just felt was very beautiful and I wanted to be a part of it right away when I heard it.”
