A crew from Bollywood is currently shooting a movie in Philadelphia, the second flick by an Indian company in about the last month. Is this a new trend?
Shekhar Deshpande is chair of the Communications Department at Arcadia University, and a consultant to a film and television academy in India. He is hoping to see more Bollywood crews on the streets of Philadelphia:
"I think it has a lot to do with how Philadelphia is encouraging the city to be a film location and that speaks volumes about the importance of Philadelphia."
Deshpande says India is always scouting for new locations to film movies. He says Bollywood movie companies produce at least two films each day, which makes India one of the largest film producing nations in the world. He believes Indian films being made here are good for Philadelphia and good for India.
