London - the hottest destination for Bollywood flicks
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 19 2005]
London is soon appearing to be the hottest destination for the shooting of Hindi films, what with 3 such movies about to be released.
The best part is that none of these movies have just a stray song'n'dance sequence shot there but instead have been extensively shot in the city.
First two to arrive quite soon are 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' and 'Chocolate', both of which star Emraan Hashmi and Tanushree Dutta as the lead couple.
While ABA has some portions set in London, 'Chocolate' is a full length feature with London as the backdrop.
Rather than glorifying the city, the focus is more on giving a stark feel to the streets and lanes of London to form a perfect backdrop for the 'videshi' underworld in the movie 'Chocolate'.
The third movie [obviously] takes the cake as the title itself is 'Ramji Londonwale'.
A light hearted entertainer about a desi cook from India [Madhavan] who migrates to London, itÂs about how a village simpleton reacts to the glitz and sheen of the 'phoren' world!
