Black Friday: A few stark details

In order to stick to authenticity in his forthcoming film Black Friday, director Anurag Kashyap and his team shot the important scene of the RDX bombs landing in India prior to the Mumbai blast in 1993 in the same village that the RDX actually landed ' Shikhadi.

'We shot in the same village of the coolies which was actually picked up by the police post blasts because the night when the RDX arrived, the villagers were paid Rs. 1000 but they had no idea what contained in those ships,' says Anurag Kashyap.

The actors in the movie faced tremendous difficulties during the shooting of this scene due to several technical details.

The actors as well as the crew were on boats in the ocean and there was a lot of motion sickness.

'We shot the entire night and all of us after delivering our dialogues would go and throw up every time due to motion sickness', says actor Pavan Malhotra who plays Tiger Memon in the film.

Black Friday is based on the events leading up to and the investigation thereafter of the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts.

The 1993 Bombay blasts left 257 dead and 1400 injured and brought into the spotlight the mafia-terrorist nexus prevalent today. Based on S. Hussain Zaidi's book on the same subject, the film takes one into the heart of the conspiracy behind the Bombay blasts and the massive follow-up investigation by giving detailed account of planning, execution and back-end operations of the same.

Produced by Arindam Mitra and directed by Anurag Kashyap, the film features the stellar acting talents of Kay Kay Menon, Pavan Malhotra and Aditya Srivastava playing Inspector Rakesh Maria, Tiger Memon and police informer 'Badshah Khan' respectively.

Black Friday, directed by Anurag Kashyap is ready for release on 9th February.
