Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay did just that while shooting a scene in Spain

The cast and crew of Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is in Spain shooting for the first schedule of the film. Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay participated in the popular 'running of the bulls' ritual to shoot a scene for the film. Since the film is shot in Spain, Zoya has planned to incorporate many local customs and traditions.



Every year from July 7th-14th thousands pack into Pamplona to start Spain's most famous bull-running fiesta to honour Navarre capital's patron saint, San Fermin. Spain stages more than 3,000 fiestas (festivals) each year but the seven days of bull running are the favourite in terms of spectacle and excitement.



Dressed in the traditional costume of red and white, the three leads were made to run along with a group of locals while being chased by running bulls. A source says, "The bulls had their trainers with them, so they don't go rogue. The scene is one of the film's major highlights."



Apart from the running bulls, Zoya also shot another popular customu00a0-- a tomato-throwing match where opponents douse each other in tomato pulp. Katrina Kaif and the three male leads of the film shot for the scene.
