of car suppliers and mechanics is doubled in most cases because most action directors prefer to have an identical back-up vehicle. “After the major sequences, it is, in fact, the back-up vehicle that comes back to the garage whereas the original is disposed off,” says action director Allan Amin, who had, at hand, nine Mini Coopers as opposed to just three that were shown in Abbas-Mustan’s Players early this year.
It is, therefore, crucial for car suppliers that they maintain a strong network of garage owners and car enthusiasts. This comes in handy when a film belongs to a particular period or has special requirements. “For Anand Rai’s Ranjhana, the scene needed to show a rally car speeding down a hillock, destroying huts along the way. Our supplier had to use his network to source two rally cars of the same make that the owners would be willing to part with,” recounts Gulab, adding, “It took some convincing and some reworking on them, but it was worth it.”
