Aayush Sharma says shooting in Azerbaijan for Ruslaan gave more depth to story

Aayush Sharma, who will next be seen in Ruslaan, shared that the film's Azerbaijan schedule has helped the team to add versatility to action sequences in the film.

The film, directed by Katyayan Shivpuri, embarked on an extensive two-month shooting schedule in Azerbaijan, immersing themselves in its captivating landscapes and culture. Recently, the team returned for a final seven-day stint, bringing the journey to a close. Ruslaan also stars Vidya Malvade and Jagapathi Babu in prominent roles.

Talking about the shoot, the actor said, "The film's shoot in Azerbaijan helped us add some versatility to action sequences of the film. The country has a unique range to offer. We shot in Quba, which is four hours away from Baku. The village is interesting because it's known as the spy village. The locals are relatively conservative and don't visit the mainland a lot."

The actor further mentioned, "Audiences today deserve to have something different. Locations add value to the project. We wanted to add a fresh visual palette. Showing scale and grandeur in a different fashion is key."

Sharma was last seen in Antim: The Final Truth which released in 2018 alongside Salman Khan. The film is a Hindi remake of the hit Marathi film Mulshi Pattern (2018).
