Ittefaq: Sonakshi Sinha reveals they shot alternate endings to protect climax of thriller

As the 'Say No To Spoliers' campaign by the team of Abhay Chopra’s upcoming thriller Ittefaq takes over Twitter, the lead actress Sonakshi Sinha reveals that they have taken more measures to ensure that the climax remains a mystery.

In a promotional video, Interrogation with Karan Johar (a spin on Koffee with Karan), the host and co-producer of the film, Karan Johar asks the three principal cast members — Sonakshi, Akshaye Khanna and Sidharth Malhotra — if they revealed the climax of the suspense thriller to their close ones. Sonakshi points out that they took additional measures to protect the suspense attached with the film. “We shot alternate endings. A cameraman, a lights guy or any crew member would not know the script. So it was important that we shoot alternate endings so that they do not leak what the actual climax is,” says Sonakshi. Ittefaq is the remake of late filmmaker Yash Chopra’s 1969 classic of the same name. While it is directed by his nephew Abhay, the remake is co-produced by Renu Chopra and Juno Chopra’s BR Studios, Johars’ Dharma Productions and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. Ittefaq is slated to release this Friday on 3 November, along with Rakhee Sandilya’s romantic comedy _Ribbon_ and Milind Rau’s horror film The House Next Door.   (Also read: Ittefaq follows 'less is more' mantra for promotion; is it time Bollywood cuts down on aggressive marketing?)
