Victory
may
well
be
revolving
around
the
character
of
Harman
Baweja
but
Amrita
Rao
still
has
great
memories
of
shooting
for
the
film,
in
particular
the
parts
that
were
shot
on
outdoor
locations
in
Rajasthan.
After
spending
quite
some
time
in
Jaisalmer,
she
not
just
fell
in
love
with
the
desert
dunes
but
also
the
traditions,
culture
and
music
belonging
to
this
part
of
the
country.
''First
schedule
of
the
film
took
place
in
Rajasthan
and
it
was
particularly
exciting
for
me
because
for
the
first
time
ever
I
was
visiting
Jaisalmer.
I
was
fascinated
with
the
sheer
visual
of
so
much
of
sand
around.
Then
suddenly
I
saw
people
dressed
in
bright
colours
which
was
really
contrasting
with
the
background
of
the
place.
All
the
orange
and
pink
colours
turned
the
place
into
such
a
delightful
watch'',
says
Amrita
Rao
fondly.
She
was
also
particularly
impressed
by
the
traditional
music
that
was
being
played
around
the
shooting
locations.
''We
were
shooting
at
this
small
temple
and
it
was
interesting
to
see
the
locals
playing
a
small
instrument
that
seemed
to
be
a
'taanpoora'.
Then
there
was
this
old
man
who
was
wearing
a
turban
and
singing
some
songs
that
seem
to
have
inspired
quite
a
few
Bollywood
tracks
that
I
have
heard
over
the
years'',
says
Amrita
who
herself
is
quite
fond
of
classical
music.
''That's
right,
I
love
classical
music
and
it
was
irresistible
for
me
not
to
return
back
to
this
old
man
in
between
my
shots.
I
spent
some
real
good
time
in
just
listening
to
what
he
was
playing'',
smiles
Amrita,
''What
helped
me
further
was
the
fact
that
all
the
lighter
scenes
from
the
film
were
chosen
to
be
shot
in
dunes;
hence
it
wasn't
difficult
interacting
with
the
locales.''
