Uttarakhand has become one of the major hubs of shooting lately. Akshay Kumar earlier shot his film 'Shankara' in Uttarakhand. Kajol and Kriti Sanon also recently shot a major portion of their upcoming film 'Do Patti' in Uttarakhand.

Helmed by Shashanka Chaturvedi, 'Do Patti' is produced by Kathha Pictures and co-produced by Kriti Sanon, also written by Kanika Dhillon, and will stream exclusively on the OTT platform Netflix.

The film is set to take viewers on a thrilling suspense-filled ride like never before and transport audiences to the mesmerising hills of North India, which serve as a backdrop for the mystery and intrigue to unfold. (ANI)
