Team 'Sarbjit' gets permission to shoot at Wagah border

After quite a lot of struggle, the makers of 'Sarbjit' biopic have finally got the permission to shoot a sequence at the Wagah Border and are all set to start filming it.

As a confirmation to this, actress Richa Chadha shared a photo with her fans on Instagram and emphasized the Wagah border schedule was underway.

"Waving at the neighbour ... Shoot at Wagah border, Atari #Ilovemyjob #spreadlove #Punjabdiaries #Sarbjitthismorning #nofilter," reads her post.

'Sarbjit' is based on the life of an Indian farmer, who was convicted of spying by a Pakistani court and died after being attacked by inmates in the central Lahore Jail.

The film, directed by 'Mary Kom' famed Omung Kumar, features Randeep Hooda as the titular character and Aishwarya Rai in the role of the protagonist's sister.

Earlier, the makers were very worried about getting a green signal from the concerned authorities to shoot at the Wagah Border as it is one of the most sensitive areas as far as national security is concerned.

The team of the upcoming film has been in Amritsar for the last 20 days.
