MUMBAI: For the first time in Bollywood, an entire studio has been booked exclusively for a film. Kamal Amrohi Studios at Jogeshwari (East) has been booked for the shooting of the Salman Khan-starrer Dabaang 2.

This means that the studio that houses 12 units will not be given out on hire till the first schedule of Dabangg 2 concludes, making it a first in the 55-year-old studio’s history.

If that were not enough, producer and director Arbaaz Khan has deputed 80 security personnel to guard the sets, that resembles pockets of Kanpur.

“This arrangement is exclusive to Salman. Till date, we haven’t extended such privileges to anybody. We are very close to him and his family. But please don’t ask me about the rates. We don’t discuss that on public platforms,” head honcho of Kamal Amrohi Studios Tajdar Amrohi has reportedly said.

In another move, 80 bodyguards have been selected to man the studio for the entire shooting schedule. Earlier, the studio was booked for Rakesh Roshan’s Koyla and Subhash Ghai’s Khalnayak and had top security, but other units at the studio were given out for shoots of television shows.
