MUMBAI: Bollywood’s popularity has transcended the barriers of culture, language and borders. The Maharahstra government has now drawn up plans to lure tourists to Mumbai by introducing a Bollywood tourism project.

The project has been named as Mumbai Film Tourism because officials do not wish to rake up any controversy the use of ‘Bollywood’ might entail.

The project will be set up either at Gorai in north Mumbai or Film City at Goregaon, where most of the production work and shoots are done. However, Gorai is likely to be preferred choice as the government has declared the place as a tourism zone. Being close to the coast, Gorai also has the potential to attract tourists.

Of course there are many layers to the film. It is an adventurous story about a protagonist maturing, who has not really been out there much. He takes upon the responsibility of driving this truck, and we see what happens to him on the way, the kind of people he meets, how they influence him, and what he discovers about himself. How long was the shoot? I remember we shot for two months then we had to take a break because we lost the location in Gujarat because of the rain. So you can say about two and a half months.

Abhay’s character is restless and finds a new lease of life when his father assigns him the work of transporting an old truck across the desert state of Rajasthan to a museum. It is on the way to that museum that Abhay discovers the essence of life along with Satish Kaushik and Tanissha Chatterjee. They are amazed to see the interest shown by the rural population in bollywood and its flicks. In fact, Abhahy Deol uses films to save his life by screening a film at every stop on the highway through his old discarded projector lying in the backyard of his truck. The young actor is all praise for the young director Dev Benegal for knowing exactly what was needed from the actors and how it had to be executed to make the film work for the audiences. To a certain extent, Abhay Deol has also imbibed the sarcasm angle of Dev Benegal’s humorous acts in the flick and comes out with flying colors. The flick is all set to be released all over this Friday with Ajay Devgn-Konkona Sen Sharma starrer ‘Athithi Tum Kab Jaaoge’ giving it stiff competition at the box office.
