Have you heard? Recreating Dharavi in the UK for Tiger Shroff

Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff

Thanks to the subsidies offered by governments of various countries, and because it lends to uninterrupted time of the cast, Bollywood filmmakers are more than happy to shoot their films on foreign lands. If they can recreate Indian locations abroad, that is even better. Apparently, the makers of Tiger Shroff’s next, Ganapath, have shot most portions of the film in the UK. Sources inform that the scenes set in the slums of Dharavi were originally filmed in London, on a set specially built for the purpose. “Considering the permissions, paperwork and the timelines, it often works out better to shoot abroad than in Mumbai,” says a source.  He adds that the availability of resources makes it easier to shoot overseas than in India. Interestingly, the producers are also said to be shooting a major chunk of their next, Capsule Gill, with Akshay Kumar in the UK, while only a small portion is slated to be shot in Raniganj in West Bengal.

Aamir Khan is known to spare no effort in the making and the marketing of his films. The actor-filmmaker was planning a trip to Guwahati for the promotion of his latest offering, Laal Singh Chaddha. Having previously donated Rs 25 lakh for those who were hit by Assam floods, Aamir was looking forward to interacting with the people of the north-eastern state. However, due to the Tiranga initiative around the Independence Day, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reportedly requested the actor to push his trip to after August 15. However, with the Forrest Gump remake not faring well commercially, it remains to be seen if Aamir will eventually go to Assam or not.
