Mumbai:
Actor
Irrfan
Khan,
who
plays
an
undercover
RAW
official
in
D-Day,
recently
shot
a
sequence
at
a
real
barber's
house
for
the
movie.
The
actor
was
pleasantly
surprised
with
the
effort
put
into
the
detailing
of
the
film
by
director
Nikhil
Advani
and
his
team.
He
was
recently
heard
saying,
"Sometimes,
people
for
the
sake
of
storytelling
sacrifice
the
detailing
of
the
character
seriously
effecting
the
final
outcome
of
the
film." Irrfan
Khan,
who
has
worked
in
several
Indian
and
International
movies
including
the
Oscar
nominated
Life
of
Pi
and
Slumdog
Millionaire,
had
to
shoot
at
a
barber's
house
in
Juapura
in
Ahmedabad.
The
team
had
chosen
this
location
specifically
keeping
in
mind
the
authentic
and
realistic
look
of
the
film.
Apart
from
the
location
being
an
actual
Barber's
house,
the
adjoining
area
also
closely
resembled
Karachi,
where
a
large
chunk
of
this
movie
is
based.
This
strive
for
perfection
didn't
just
end
here;
it
even
went
down
to
very
minute
details
such
as
having
his
pants
ending
six
inches
above
his
ankles
throughout
the
film,
a
feature
which
goes
with
the
character
he
plays.
D-Day
is
the
story
of
four
vastly
different
protagonists,
all
with
varying
motivations,
but
having
a
common
mission
that
brings
them
together
on
foreign
soil.
Making
a
commercial
film
of
this
scale
while
maintaining
its
authentic
and
realistic
look
is
very
difficult.
"Every
element
of
the
film
is
extremely
well
researched
and
detailed
and
a
lot
of
homework
has
gone
into
it,"
says
Advani,
who
wanted
to
keep
the
film
as
much
as
real,
gritty
and
hard-hitting
as
possible.
D-Day
has
already
become
one
of
the
most
anticipated
releases
of
the
year
with
its
high-octane
action
and
unique
ensemble
cast.
The
film
features
Rishi
Kapoor,
Irrfan
Khan,
Arjun
Rampal,
Huma
Quereshi
and
Shruti
Haasan
amongst
others.
Produced
by
DAR
Motion
Pictures
and
Emmay
Entertainment
and
co-produced
by
Essel
Vision
Productions,
D-Day
is
slated
for
July
19
release.
