Tom Cruise is set to enthrall his Indian audiences with his performance as our favourite agent Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible - Fallout, which opens in theaters tomorrow. Mission: Impossible - Fallout is the sixth installment in the high-octane action series Mission: Impossible. The film featured in headlines after there were reports that its climax sequence is set in Kashmir. However, the scene wasn't really shot in India; instead the makers actually transformed a valley in New Zealand to give it an appearance of a small Kashmiri village, in order to shoot the portion. Film's director Christopher McQuarrie told news agency IANS: "We couldn't shoot the aerial sequence (helicopter chase sequence) in India. It was a little too crazy. So, we ended up in New Zealand... (but) we wanted something which was more political complex than New Zealand."
The film's schedule was temporarily affected in August last year, when Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt for the film. However, film's director Christopher McQuarrie saw this as an opportunity to review the film and made the necessary changes. He told IANS: "We shut the production down, I went into the editing room and Tom went to take care of his ankle. And it benefited the film because it allowed us to look at the film, we have been making and make certain changes. A lot was written while Tom was recovering... In the end, it all helped the film."
The trailer of Mission: Impossible - Fallout released in February this year and it went crazy viral instantly. As of now, the trailer has over 25 million views on YouTube. Also, Christopher McQuarrie is the only M:I director returning to the helm of affairs twice. He also directed 2015's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
