Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: London

Veer (transl. Brave) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language epic action film directed by Anil Sharma and produced by Vijay Gulan. It stars Salman Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Zareen Khan, and Sohail Khan.

Production

Salman Khan conceived the film in 1990 while shooting for Baaghi, describing it as his dream project. Khan had initially planned to direct the film himself and had considered Sanjay Dutt for the lead role. Eventually, Anil Sharma agreed to direct the film. Veer is also partly based on the Russian novel Taras Bulba by Nikolai Gogol. To prepare for his role, Salman Khan went on a special diet and worked out with a personal trainer.

Principal photography for Veer began on 1 December 2008. Portions of the film were originally scheduled to be shot at the College of Engineering and the Agricultural College in Pune, but due to the swine flu outbreak, the locations were shifted to Mumbai. Filming also took place in Jaipur and Bikaner.

Rochester Castle appears as a backdrop for a musical sequence named 'Everytime I look into your eyes I see my paradise' featuring a horse and carriage. The Chatham Dockyard provided the setting for many of the montage shots used in the UK dance sequences as well as the location where Veer first meets Yuvraji Yashodhara.

On 23 January 2010, author Pavan Chaudhary filed a Rs. 2 million suit against Khan, Anil Sharma and producer Vijay Galani, alleging that the film borrowed elements from his novel, Trilogy of Wisdom. The suit called for a halt of the film's screenings.
