Curiosità

Tashan is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language action masala film written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya in his directorial debut, and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. It stars Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Anil Kapoor. The story follows a call centre executive, a gangster's aide, and a con woman involved in a chaotic pursuit across India.

Production

Tashan marked the directorial debut of Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had previously written for Dhoom (2004) and Dhoom 2 (2006). Pre-production began in late 2006, with the screenplay emphasizing a blend of action and stylized comedy.

The film continued Saif Ali Khan’s collaboration with Yash Raj Films following Hum Tum (2004) and Salaam Namaste (2005). It also marked a return to the studio for Akshay Kumar (Dil To Pagal Hai, 1997), Kareena Kapoor (Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, 2002), and Anil Kapoor (Lamhe, 1991).

Costume designer Aki Narula developed distinct looks for the lead cast to complement the film’s stylized tone.

Kumar was the first actor signed, followed by Khan and Kareena Kapoor. In early 2007, Anil Kapoor joined the cast to portray a villain, marking his first negative role. Ibrahim Ali Khan, Khan’s son, made his screen debut as the younger version of his father’s character.

Principal photography began in June 2007 in Kerala, followed by shooting schedules in Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Haridwar. Additional scenes were filmed in Mumbai, where Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan were photographed during production in the Fort area in September 2007. Two musical sequences were filmed on location in Greece, on the islands of Milos and in the coastal town of Nafplio.
