SKF is all set for the release of their upcoming film Notebook at the end of the month. The film starring debutants Pranutan Bahl and Zaheer Iqbal and directed by Nitin Kakkar have been extensively shot around the scenic beauty of Kashmir. Major parts of the film have been shot around the lake with the crew in the water.

For this, the art directors of the film created a floating set in the middle of a lake. The 80 crew members team worked for 30 days back to back to build the set. National Award winning director Nitin Kakkar says,

“This is the first time that I have shot on a set created in a real location. Kudos to art designers Urvi (Ashar) and Shipra (Rawal) that it never felt like a set. It was very difficult as it was floating, but it had become our home for over 30 days. The day it was dismantled, my heart sank. It has memories that I will cherish for life.”

Says art director Urvi,

“We knew that the set created on drums also had to take the weight of the crew, equipment and fight the extreme weather conditions. We got the best compliment when the locals thought it was real.’’

Salman Khan Films presents Notebook. A Cine1 Studios production is directed by Nitin Kakkar and stars Pranutan Bahl and Zaheer Iqbal. The film is produced by Salma Khan, Murad Khetani, Ashwin Varde and will release on March 29th, 2019.
