Vikram Bhatt hires ‘Ice Maiden’ for 6000 pounds per day

Who can forget the lavish spending made by filmmaker Vikram Bhatt for the magical European castle which was the setting of his horror flick ‘1920’. Now, Vkram Bhatt is repeating his lead couple of ‘1920’, Rajneesh Duggal and Adah Sharma, in ‘Phirr’ and he has gone ahead and done something for the film which very few producers would dare to do.

Vikram has recently shot some portions of the film in UK and during this schedule, he hired a beautiful and gorgeous ship called the ‘Ice Maiden’. Shooting aboard the ship cost Vikram a whopping 6000 pounds per day. “It was the costliest shoot that I have done,” he says.

However, Vikram is quick to defend his spending and says, “I am not a fool to spend that amount on hiring a ship, if it wasn’t required. I can’t reveal much but the ship is an essential aspect in the climax of the film. The temperature was freezing… It was below zero… in weather conditions like this it becomes difficult to shoot action sequences. But it was worth the experience.”

The investment will definitely prove to be worth only if the film sets the cash registers ringing at the box-office.
