"When we first arrived, it was raining heavily. We had to wait for more than an hour for it to clear up. It took us about 40 minutes to reach the peak on foot. It was very interesting. My team and I can take risks for the sake of good content. I played Hans Zimmer's composition from the film 'Man of Steel'. Very interesting and dynamic music," he said.
