Bhubaneswar: Odia girl Suravi Patnaik featured alongside 300 extras in the blockbuster flick from the popular Mission Impossible series. Cuttack-born Suravi is an IT consultant who moved to New Zealand a few years ago.

The film’s shooting in New Zealand captured a Kashmiri village that forms part of the thrilling climax of this final installment. The precise location of this Kashmiri setup was up on the hills of the Southern Alps in a small area called Rees Valley. The shot that features Suravi took place last summer in June 2017 with 300 Kiwi Indians getting the opportunity to work alongside this stellar star cast and the experienced Cruise, doing the dramatic helicopter chase stunts through the beautiful New Zealand landscape.

“It was an unbelievable experience working with Tom Cruise for a good length of 12 days that the scene was being shot”, says Suravi who was part of the Background Talent team. “Tom is an absolute gentleman on set who is always interested to mingle with everyone and would help out people to carve the best out of them”.
