Breathtaking Beauty of Malshej Ghat Attracts Filmmakers

September 30, 2015 by BollywoodPresents Team

Film shoots at Malshej Ghats Malshej Ghats is a scenic hill station located around 140 kilometres from Mumbai. Its one of the most beautiful spots around Mumbai, with several waterfalls & breathtaking views (its around 700m above sea level). Surprisingly several Mumbaikar’s have never been to this place before (for them Lonavla/Khandala is still the best place, which is not true).

Such is the beauty of Malshej Ghat that even Mani Ratnam chose to shoot parts of his film here.

Movies shot at Malshej Ghats

A substantial portion, including the climax, of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan (Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, cinematographer Santosh Sivan) was shot at Malshej Ghat.



The “O Bekhabar” song of ‘Action Replayy’ (Aishwarya Rai & Akshay Kumar) was also shot at the picturesque Malshej Ghat.

When asked about the differences in shooting experience at the same location, Aishwarya said that ‘Action Replayy’ was shot at different time of the year and in different weather condition which changed the whole look of the place.

“At the same location, I was doing very severe, very strong, very demanding, as in drenched in the rain, tied to the tree; being physically put through very, very tough conditions in Raavan at the same place”, Said Aishwarya.



Several scenes of Tees Maar Khan (starring Akshay Jumar & katrina Kaif, directed by Farah Khan) were also shot at Malshej ghat. One of the songs ‘Bade Dilwala’ where Katrina wears Ghagra Choli was also filmed here.



Top Cinematographer Santosh Sivan’s upcoming trilingual film ‘Urmi’ also had several scenes that were filmed in remote area near Malshej Ghat.

Katrina Kaif Collapses at Malshej Ghat

While shooting on the sets of Tees Maar Khan at Malshej Ghat, Katrina had collapsed after greeting her co-star Akshay Kumar and director Farah Khan.

But there was nothing to worry about, as the doctor said that the sudden collapse was due to over-work and lack of sleep. All was well in the end as Katrina resumed shooting after taking some rest.
