Apparently,
a
primate
from
any
other
country
just
wouldn't
do
for
Anil
Kapoor's
next
production.
He
picks
out
one
from
South
Africa
Anil
Kapoor
is
shipping
a
gorilla
(yes,
you
read
right)
all
the
way
from
South
Africa
for
his
next
production
No
Problem,
being
directed
by
Anees
Bazmee.
Handpicked
Anil,
who
has
just
returned
from
London,
says,
"We
had
to
ship
a
gorilla
from
SA
as
we
couldn't
find
one
to
meet
our
requirements
here.
We
searched
in
London,
Los
Angeles
and
Italy
and
just
couldn't
find
the
right
kind
of
gorilla.
The
gorillas
in
LA
were
expensive
with
their
trainers
plus
assistants
and
the
budget
would
have
gone
haywire,
so
we
passed
up
on
them.
Gorillas
from
other
parts
of
the
world
didn't
look
as
good.
We
even
sent
our
team
along
with
Rajat
Rawail
to
Argentina
but
again
turned
up
zilch." The
gorilla
is
one
of
the
main
characters
in
the
film
along
with
Sanjay
Dutt,
Akshaye
Khanna,
Suniel
Shetty
and
Anil
Kapoor,
and
features
in
the
climax.
Demoralised
The
climax
is
being
currently
shot
in
Mumbai
with
the
entire
star
cast
including
the
heroines
Sushmita
Sen
and
Kangana
Ranaut
and
the
gorilla.
Anil
adds
that
they
finally
settled
on
the
South
African
one
as
he
was
the
best
and
was
well-trained.
"Rajat
went
there
and
shot
a
video
with
him.
Later,
Anees,
Rajat
and
I
decided
on
him
after
watching
the
video.
Sanju
and
I
are
feeling
demoralised
with
his
appearance.
We
feel
Anees
is
giving
more
importance
to
the
gorilla."
Anil
says
though
the
special
appearance
by
the
mammal
is
turning
out
to
be
quite
an
expense,
but
one
he
doesn't
mind.
"I
don't
mind
spending
money
when
it
enhances
my
film."
