Action Jackson. Film shoot
Indian music drifts through the otherwise rather quiet streets of Hall in Tirol’s old town; suddenly, dancers in Elvis costumes – who strike us as rather kitsch – appear and dance around the leading lady. This is what the dance scene looks like, filmed in Hall for the movie “Action Jackson”. The stars of the film are Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha – two of India’s most famous actors. Set off in search of clues at the original filming locations and enjoy your time in the Hall-Wattens region!
The romantic action comedy “Action Jackson”, directed by Prabhu Deva – himself a dancer, singer and actor with cult status in India – was filmed in September 2014 in and around Innsbruck, Hall in Tyrol, Rattenberg, Neustift, on the Stubai Glacier and at Lake Achensee.
