The famous Wagah Border (between India and Pakistan) which originally is at Amritsar has been recreated at Ballowal where Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are shooting for Ali Abbas Zafar directorial Bharat. This is to recall that original Wagah Border too is in Punjab. A closer look shows `India` and `Pakistan` written on a huge structure. Since it is not allowed by the Border Security Force (BSF) to shoot at Wagah Border due to security reasons, it was decided to setup a replica at Ballowal in Ludhiana. Also, there were certain scenes in which actors had to cross the border and move to Pakistan side which could not have been allowed either by BSF on Indian side or Pakistan Rangers on their side. Also, it wasn`t practical to shoot at Wagah Border in Amritsar as it is normally not allowed by BSF due to security reasons. Local farmers have been given compensation by filmmakers. The shooting here is likely to go on till November 18. However, the cast and crew are not staying in the village. They are staying at a high-end hotel in Ludhiana. They come here for shoot only.”
