The iconic Mumbai landmark was recreated in the UK for RA.One



One of the many action scenes in Shah Rukh Khan's RA.One will have a speeding train ramming into Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Railway Terminus.

However, the scene was not shot at the actual location. The landmark was digitally created at a VFX studio in London. A team of technicians was brought down to Mumbai to visit CST and study its architecture.

A source says, "There's a particular scene in the film where a speeding train jumps the track and rams into the main building. Since it wasn't possible to shoot the scene in the city, the crew decided to create a replica in London and shoot it with special effects. The movie will also have scenes with cars getting blown up."

The train scene is supposed to be a major highlight in the film and was shot using multiple cameras. SRK has top Hollywood technicians like action director Andy Gill (Rush Hour 3), visual effects supervisor Jeff Kleiser (X-Men) and editor Martin Walsh (Clash of Titans) on board the project.
