Hollywood film ‘The Hurt Locker’ bagged the Oscar for the Best Picture and now interestingly, its Supervising Art Director David Bryan will be a part of a Bollywood project.

Abbas Tyrewala’s forthcoming venture tentatively titled ‘1-800-Love’ and which stars John Abraham, has roped in David as the film’s production designer. With ‘The Hurt Locker’, David was well-acclaimed for his life-like replication of the battle scarred streets of Iraq in Jordan.

Similarly, for Abbas film David and the team had tried to portray the real London that is rarely seen. According to earlier reports while shooting in London they had managed to block off traffic completely on Tower Bridge for 3 nights and had shot several scenes with even boat traffic on the Thames being restricted.

Sharing few behind-the-scenes titbits, David said, “In particular we were looking for a real iconic studio apartment for our lead actor John Abraham. Later in autumn, the climax to the film grew into an epic four nights filming on Tower Bridge with John doing his own stunts, a real star!”

He further stated that it was a great experience while working with a Bollywood crew and in fact was much more than on a similar British film.

As a matter of fact, sources revealed that at first David had managed to convince Abbas to join his film as a production designer after showing Abbas footage from ‘The Hurt Locker’.
