The crew did extensive recces with local line producers and guides in remote desert areas, where there are no structures, even network, for miles. Though people got a glimpse of these stunning locations in the teaser, not many know about the travel time that the actors had to put in to reach these locations. Speaking about the same, a source said, “While shooting in Ranautar, the actors had to travel for 103 kms each way every day. Relay security teams were posted every few kilometers to convey messages on walkie-talkies. The village itself was unique with inhabitants who drink only goat's milk all their lives, with not a piece of grain, vegetables, or meat.”

The climax was shot in Asia's largest limestone quarry, 58 kms from Jaisalmer city and the actors also travelled approximately 330 kms distance each between Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner. At the end of the shoot, reportedly, Milan was shocked to realize that they had travelled more than 5000 kms in all for the film.

The source added, “Transport, especially car transport was quite tough in the city of Jodhpur and relays of bouncers were set in place. The actors travelled in auto rickshaws, with Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta once getting into the wrong one in the throng of fans. Apart from this, the cast and crew battled extreme ends of the weather spectrum. The temperature in January when the shoot began was two degrees, and when it ended in March it was up to 38 degrees, with accompanying sandstorms. Director Milan Luthria got dirty looks from all his actors, but every time they saw the location they had driven so long to reach, they admitted it left them speechless.”

Baadshaho, directed by Milan Luthria, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar & Milan Luthria is scheduled to release on September 1.
