Chatur explores his wild side in New Zealand

After playing the nerdy Chatur Ramalingman in ‘3 Idiots’ and the timid lover in ‘Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji’, Omi Vaidya’s next is an action-packed film called ‘Players’ which is being filmed in New Zealand.

Taking a break from the shoots, Omi decided to shoot off with his wife to experience white water rafting in Rotorua and even tried the Auckland Sky Jump

Omi says, “Filming for Players in New Zealand was a dream come true. Our first location, Wellington, really grew on us as it was big enough to explore, but small enough to not feel lost in. Although it is known as Windy Wellington, I actually enjoyed the weather. The small quaint shops and little streets really promoted us to walk around and explore. And we were lucky enough to celebrate Abhishek Bachchan’s birthday during the Rugby Sevens victory party that happened all night on the streets. That was quite a night! In Auckland we visited the Casino and got to go to some really nice beaches. New Zealand is such a nice country that it's hard to keep focused on work.

When asked if his wife shares his enthusiasm for adventure sports, he replied, “My wife, Minal, is a bigger thrill seeker than me. We have tried skydiving in Hawaii, waterskiing in Jamaica, and Scuba diving in Tahiti. But New Zealand definitely has a lot to offer us, so we will have to come back for more.
