When Dhoom 3 Considered Philippines’ Highest Bridge for Filming

August 24, 2015 by BollywoodPresents Team

The Agas-Agas bridge is Philippines’ highest bridge and was a close candidate for filming a crucial scene in Dhoom 3, one of Bollywood’s biggest blockbusters.

Slovenia

During the filming of Aamir Khan’s ‘Dhoom 3’, the Department of Tourism Philippines had received a request from Yashraj films (producers of Dhoom 3) to look for a bridge in one of the more rustic areas in the country, to shoot one crucial scene.

Agas-Agas Bridge in Sogod, Southern Leyte, the highest one in Philippines was the location suggested for shooting and the major Indian production house was even considering it as a possible bridge candidate for their blockbuster movie.



But eventually, Yashraj films decided to go in for another location to film the crucial climax scene, which was shot at Contra Dam in Switzerland.
