When Abhishek Bachchan was shooting for Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in Paris, martial arts star Jackie Chan was shooting his movie ‘Rush Hour 3’ around the same locations.
The shooting units of the two films often kept running into each other. In fact, sources say that in one instance, while director Shaad Ali was shooting a sequence, a stunt car from ‘Rush Hour 3’ entered the camera’s frame and the shot had to be retaken.
Later, when Abhishek Bachchan and Lara Dutta were shooting the song ‘Ticket To Hollywood’ at Place de la Concorde with a huge troupe of 120 dancers, Jackie Chan could not resist dropping by on the movie’s sets to see the shooting.
Jackie apparently loves the elaborate songs and dances in Bollywood films and he loved the song ‘Ticket To Hollywood’ which is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
A member from the unit of ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ is quoted as saying that even though JBJ and ‘Rush Hour 3’ were being shot in same locations, the shooting units of the two films co-operated with each other.
