Pulkit Samrat had a fabulous time shooting for Banigstan. It was a reunion of sorts for Pulkit .

The young actor got a chance to catch up with the entire Fukrey crew. Both Fukrey and Bangistan are Excel Entertainment films and hence the same team has worked on the production of both films.



Pulkit has closely worked with them and so this time around the shooting process was more comfortable for him .Infact, Pulkit knew most people by names and they often used to go out to post pack.


It is a young team and the AD’s and other teams are an enthusiastic lot.


 On and off sets they used to discuss sports, food joints and other idle chatter.


 In addition Pulkit’s co-star Ritiesh Deshmukh also has a spontaneous sense of humor.


Bangistan is a quirky film about two blunder terrorists and the fun the team had on sets has got captured and translated on screen


Pulkit shares "Working with excel never feels like work. It's home to me and will always be. Feels great to greet people on the set who actually are your buddies!

He will be visiting Zagreb, Hvar, and Dubrovnik in Croatia; Amsterdam in the Netherlands; and Edinburgh in Scotland.

The recce team needs to identify places where they can shoot, speak to the authorities, get required permissions and look at the feasibility of shooting.
