'Shaandaar' & 'Harry Potter' shares same 'Platform'

'Shaandaar' and 'Harry Potter' have something in common - The Goathland Station.
We were told that few portions of the Shahid and Alia starrer has been shot at Goathland Station where the famous Harry Potter franchise was shot. Vikas Bahl undertook an extensive recce and finalised the iconic location which was untapped by Bollywood. The location can be easily recollected as the pick up point of the Hogwarts Express.
However, the 'Shaandaar' team faced obstacles while filming at the location due lack of connectivity. The lanes leading to the station was extremely narrow thereby halting traffic each time a scene was being shot. This obstacle was overcome with a lot of help extended by the locals. The locals of North Yorkshire extended immense co-operation and ensured the shoot ended hassle free. The entire Shaandaar team were in awe of the kind gesture undertaken by the locals to ensure smooth functioning.
Presented by Fox Star studio, Shaandaar is produced by Dharma Production and Phantom Productions.
