Anubhav Sinha shot an important sequence of his forthcoming film "Tum Bin 2" at the same spot in Scotland where a dramatic scene of "Skyfall", featuring Daniel Craig and Judi Dench, was canned.
The filmmaker says he is a big fan of the James Bond franchise, and is glad that he could get associated with it in some way.
"It was an important scene and I'm a big James Bond fan. The day I decided to shoot 'Tum Bin 2' overseas, this was on my radar. My actors were very excited when I announced we are shooting at the Glen Etive Road which is now called the Skyfall Road," Sinha said in a statement.
"Tum Bin 2" features Neha Sharma, Aditya Seal and Aashim Gulati.
"Unfortunately, all three of them fell sick the day before (the shoot). So this shot was quite hectic and we had to ensure a medical practitioner tagged along with the unit. Plus it's a long winding path, so we initially found it difficult to locate the exact spot where Judi and Daniel shot so we wasted close to half a day locating the exact spot.
"Also, the weather was very unpredictable but during those two hours, the heavens above decided to favour us and it was seamless."
The second instalment of the 2001 film "Tum Bin" franchise is written and directed by Sinha and jointly produced by him and Bhushan Kumar of the T-Series music label.
Shot in the aesthetic landscape of Scotland, "Tum Bin 2" reunites Sinha with Kumar after a gap of 15 years. The film will release on November 18.
