Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and the crew of Omung Kumar directorial Sarbjit shot a few scenes inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar on the occasion of Basant Panchami, a Hindu festival.
Sarbjit is a biopic about Sarabjit Singh, an Indian farmer who was convicted of terrorism and spying in Pakistan and was sentenced to death. He was attacked by inmates at a prison in Lahore in April 2013 and died a few days later.
Rai Bachchan plays the role of Dalbir Kaur, Singh’s sister, in the film. She has been shooting at various locations in Amritsar. But shooting at the Golden Temple was a unique experience for the team.
Kumar said: “We are really thankful to the officials of the Golden Temple to have allowed us to shoot inside the beautiful shrine. The way they guided us smoothly through various locations to shoot inside on such a busy day was impeccable and I am truly grateful.
“We got the shots that we desired and wrapped up the shoot by 5.30pm.”
Actor Randeep Hooda will play Singh in the film, which will be narrated from the perspective of Kaur. The film is slated to release in India on May 19.
