Filming Osama


It's great... Finally Faisal Saif and his unit is back to Mumbai.

"It was a great experience Filming Osama in a very sensitive and controversial areas of Kashmir. I was damn scared. But also very excited. Before leaving Mumbai, I got a Threat from a small actor on TV called Akshay Sethi (Last seen in Saat Phere on Zee TV) that i must change my actor Pushkar Jog and cast him instead. But i ignored it and went ahead. We shot several sensitive places there in Kashmir. Places such as Hazratbal, Baramulla, Laal Chowk, Kud Etc. But it was Baramulla where we shot the scene where Osama performs his Salaats" Explains Faisal.

There Faisal and his unit witnessed 4 to 5 Afghani looking men arrived on the sets and asked for the actor Pushkar Jog and Faisal Saif. When they approached them, They came with few questions such as what is this film all about? Why were they shooting this film here? Etc. Etc.

A still photographer clicked thier pictures and they noticed this. Then suddenly they disappeared. Faisal still recieves some threatening messages on his Cell Phone. Well as the Singer Shibani Kashyap says in one of the songs from Osama... "Where will this Journey take us.. We don't know". But what we know is that Faisal and the unit of Osama are not safe.Faisal is planning to take the help of Local Police and Press as well. "I don't know who they were. But i definately know that they were not happy with something... What??? I could not figure that out!" says Faisal.

"But anyways! I was really happy to film Kashmir. The best place was Hazratbal. I went at that place and i was crying. I was crying like a baby. They say whatever you wish for in Hazratbal, It comes true. I hope so! Even i made few prayers and wishes there. Insha Allah! It will come true. I am confident because when i came out of that place, I feel like i am Re-Born! I feel like i am Pure! But i was still crying! Crying like a Baby!" explains Faisal emotionally.
