How was it being away from the hubbub of Mumbai?
There is a paradox. It is the most beautiful place in the world. If a cameraman goes to Ladakh and does not shoot it well, you can kill him, because anywhere you put the camera it is a frame. It is a perfect frame. Truly. It is stunning but treacherous. It will just kill you. For me it was fabulous because it was calm and peaceful. Most of the time, we were just tired because we had such early mornings. 3.30 am-4.30 am is not cool to wake up. I can shoot all night, I have no stress, but I am not a morning person. What did you do in your free time in Leh?Tourism. I went and saw these old monasteries and went to some shrines, walked about. It was beautiful. It was stunning. As a place, it was breathtaking. Food wasn’t a problem. Food is never a problem. We were recognised in the main cities in Leh. I used to get heart attacks because I used to see these really five-year-old posters of mine, where I looked horrible. I used to go, “Oh, my God!” Army movies do well in these places.[I guess
