The cast and crew of much-touted Bollywood flick “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” went atop Zoji La Pass for the film’s last leg shooting along with the power-pack protagonist of the movie, Salman Khan.
The world’s treacherous pass that connect Kashmir Valley with the cold desert (Ladakh) was thrown open for vehicular movement two days ago.
A mountainous pass, linking Srinagar with Leh in the western section of the Himalayan mountain range, Zoji La was closed for traffic movement from last five months due to heavy snowfall and avalanches.
On Friday, Leh-bound vehicles were allowed to ply on the pass till 11am, traffic department said. After 11am, traffic from Leh to Srinagar was allowed to ply.
Meanwhile, on his return to mountains after securing bail in 2002 hit-and-run case, Salman Khan resumed the shooting for the film on Zoji La.
A selfie clicked on the pass with director Kabir Khan went viral on social networking site.
The shooting of the film started on November last year in New Delhi. Slated to be released on upcoming EID, the flick is an action romantic drama — dealing with a romantic relationship between a Muslim man and a Brahmin woman — featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles, other than Salman Khan.
