How did a Bollywood movie celebrate Belgrade (VIDEO)
The plot follows the life of a billionaire tied to the wheelchair, who has a new caretaker to watch over him, their different views upon the world and the friendship born between seemingly incompatible people
Bollywood blockbuster "Oopiri", remake of the french movie "Untouchables", which was filmed last year on the streets of Belgrade, is currently shown in more than 1.000 cinemas in India and it was seen by over 3.5 million people, reported by the Belgrade production house "Clockwork Production".
In gratitude, Indian production house PVP films edited a montage of the scenes filmed in the capital of Serbia with the message "Belgrade, thank you for your love and support".
The movie is made by Indian house "PVP", while the executive producer from the Serbian side was "Clockwork Production".
General director of "Clockwork" production, Alek Conic, said that the great success of the movie "Oopri" puts Belgrade on the map of cities suitable for making movies and offers the chance to the city to start making millions off of this movie industry, like some cities in the surroundings.
-The making of the first Indian movie in Serbia was a great honor to us. We showed that we have movie experts that can work side by side with the greatest world productions, which i am very proud of. Belgrade and all city services met the needs of the filming in the shortest possible deadline, and our citizens showed the hospitality and great tolerance - said Conic.
Conic considers that "Oopri" opens the door for other Indian productions.
- If there are between 30 and 40 big movies created in Bulgari every year, there is no reason not to make at least 10 in Serbia - said the executive director of "Clockwork" production and adds Czech Republic make 270 million euros a year from foreign movie productions.
Film "Oopri" is the first creation of the Indian production filmed in Serbia.
Main roles are Indian starts Akineni Nagarjuna and Karti Sivakumar, or as said by our producers "Indian Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise".
