At the time when many Nepali films are being shot in foreign lands, Nepal’s own natural beauty and rich cultural heritage have been attracting many foreign film and documentary makers to do their shooting here. Not only that, various international television commercials (TVC) have also been shot in Nepal.  Recently VT 13 (Working Title), a Hindi movie, produced by Sony Pictures International and Renaissance Pictures has been filmed in the beautiful scene of Nepal. The film is directed by Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, and is based on true events. It features Varun Tej and Manushi Chhillar in the lead role. The film was shot from March 3 to 9 in the Langtang Valley, Sindhupalchowk Jugal Mountain and periphery.  For the first time ever, A Shotover F1 6 Axis  Gyro Stabilized Camera System was used to get immense shots of the mountains and valleys for the film. The system uses IMU and Brain to analyze all the vibrations, oscillations and bumps and correct all of them using heavy duty motors and magnets. 

The Shotover F1 enables broadcasters and filmmakers to achieve super stable shots even at a speed of 300 kmph. VT13 being a movie based on fighter jets and high speed action, usage of these types of camera systems has proven to be extremely important for achieving dynamic shots. 

The Shotover was operated by trained and experienced Indian cinematographer Shaikat Chakraborty. He has years of camera experience across India and abroad in most hostile environments. The Visual Effects Supervisor of the film is Durga Prasad Ketha who has been working in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi feature films for over 22 years.  The Line Producer of the film is Phurba Sherpa. He is record holder producer and director and has worked in many international projects for CNN, National Geographic and ABC among others.
