Years
after
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Kajol
made
Egypt
look
even
more
splendid
in
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhi
Gham,
Akshay
Kumar
and
Katrina
Kaif
will
repeat
the
Egypt
magic
on
celluloid
in
their
forthcoming
Singh
Is
Kinng.
The
Labh
Janjua-Suzie
Q
rendered
'Jee
Karda'
currently
on
air,
has
been
shot
in
Egypt,
as
is
the
Rahat
Fateh
Ali
Khan-Shreya
Ghoshal
number
'Teri
Orr'
which
releases
on
television
next
week.
Reveals
Vipul
Shah,
"I
wouldn't
say
we
shot
in
Egypt
just
for
the
glam
factor.
The
story
is
such
that
it
takes
Akshay's
character
from
Punjab
to
Egypt
and
then
to
Australia.
So
we
have
about
7-8
scenes
in
Egypt
as
well.
We
did
a
complete
15-day
schedule
there
and
you
won't
believe
some
of
the
shots
we've
canned.
They'll
take
your
breath
away!"
He
adds,
"We'd
already
shown
Punjab,
which
lent
a
very
rustic,
earthy,
kitsch
character
to
Singh
Is
Kinng.
Then
we
had
Australia,
which
is
very
modern,
neat,
and
glossy.
So
we
decided
to
add
a
third
terrain
to
the
film
for
the
exotica
and
Egypt
came
about.
With
these
three
locales,
the
audience
will
find
the
film
constantly
evolving
on
screen.
There
are
parts
of
Egypt
in
the
film
that
no
one's
seen
before
on
celluloid!"
