Danny Boyle's lucky stars were shining on him as he was able to complete 'Slumdog Millionaire' according to the shooting schedule without any kind of hurdles disrupting the production and forcing to extend the dates.
But the terror storm which was unleashed on Mumbai must have surely made some foreign film makers who were planning to make movies in India now to rethink about their ideas.
The famous actor Ben Kingsley was to act in two films to be made in India as the subjects were based on Taj Mahal and Gautham Buddha.
The production was earlier planned to start in the beginning of 2009.
Now after the attack of the terrorists in Mumbai and the fact that one of their main focus was on killing the Americans and jews has led to the spread of panic among the foreign film makers.
Mr.Kinglsey speaking to the BBC Radio 5 Live at British Independent Film Awards said I was planning in India. One was a film about Buddha, the other is not far enough along for me to describe. I was going to be filming definitely in 2009, probably in the first few months of the year.
He also let out what is going on his mind by saying that he is absolutely horrified by the attack in Mumbai and that it will definitely affect the plans for carrying on with the projects in India.
Ben said that it won't be his decision to whether change the shooting locations as the financiers of the flicks will have the last say.
