Moving over to Hollywood, we have Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Fallout, which is the sixth film in the Mission: Impossible series. For Indian fans of the series, here's a treat from the filmmakers. The climax of Mission: Impossible - Fallout is set in Kashmir. However, the filmmaker shot for the action sequences in New Zealand. "We couldn't shoot the aerial sequence (helicopter chase sequence) in India. It was a little too crazy. So, we ended up in New Zealand... we looked at places which had some similarities to New Zealand, and that is why we picked Kashmir," director Christopher McQuarrie told news agency IANS.
Tom Cruise has put his best foot (read injured) forward in Mission: Impossible - Fallout. The actor broke his ankle while filming an action scene because of which the project was put on hold for several days. The director told IANS that major changes were made to the film's plot while Tom Cruise was recuperating, so not much harm was done.
The film also stars Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris and Michelle Monaghan.
