Kerala not only beckons tourists but also filmmakers who like to capture its pristine beauty on celluloid. The latest movie to be shot here is Tiger Shroff-Shraddha Kapoor's rebellious love story, Baaghi. Director Sabbir Khan felt the lush greenery served as the ideal backdrop for a romantic number featuring the lead pair. He said, “When I was doing the recce, I remembered how Mani Ratnam had shot the track Jiya Jale for his film Dil Se (1998) against the backwaters. My crew was thrilled when I shared the idea with them and we shot the song, Girl I Need You, at the same location. We even recreated lead stars' looks for Tiger and Shraddha.“
