Battle of Galwan: Director's Daring Acts Amidst Peril

Vipin Bhardwaj recently discussed the intense filming experience for 'Battle Of Galwan,' highlighting director Apoorva Lakhia's remarkable courage and dedication. The production faced severe challenges, including significant flooding in Ladakh which led to red and orange alerts and extremely poor network connectivity. Lakhia's proactive approach ensured safety, as he personally inspected hazardous locations before allowing the crew to proceed.

Further emphasizing the demanding nature of the shoot, Bhardwaj recounted an incident where a tiger entered the set during a nighttime schedule for the film 'Crackdown.' Despite such unforeseen dangers, Lakhia maintained focus on the production. In a particularly striking moment, Lakhia himself jumped from a flight with a camera to capture a shot deemed too risky for the cinematographer.

Bhardwaj expressed profound respect for Lakhia, describing him as a director who leads by example. This environment of fearlessness and commitment, he believes, encourages performers to excel. The experiences gained during 'Battle Of Galwan,' he stated, represent a significant career milestone and will continue to foster his growth as an actor.
