Back from Egypt recce, Khuda Haafiz 2 director says country is the perfect choice for Vidyut’s actioner
Vidyut Jammwal
It was all work for director Faruk Kabir who returned from a 10-day Egypt trip, after scouting locations for Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2. Explaining his choice of location for the Vidyut Jammwal-led actioner, the filmmaker says, “As the story evolves, the film’s atmosphere gets more edgy. The idea of choosing Egypt was because of its eclectic nature. It has a mix of modern-day charm and old-world romance.”

Kabir has zeroed in on Cairo and Giza for the shoot. The foreign leg comes after the Lucknow schedule in July. “We will film for 14 days in Egypt, wrapping up all crucial scenes. The locals follow Bollywood and are fans of Shah Rukh Khan. The on-ground support is incredible. We have more than seven [actors] from Cairo.” The director adds that they will adhere to safety norms. “We finished the 47-day Lucknow schedule without a single case on the set.”
