There are interesting things we heard when quizzed the same with few producers and managers. Some stated that the best part of shooting in Europe is that there will be no disturbance. "Crowds are not going to flood the shoot, mob the hero-heroine and disrupt the proceedings. Peacefully we could focus on the work and get it done. If we shoot in Golconda or any other outdoor location in India, you know the mobs here", says a producer. Managers have however another version to share.
At the same budget of shooting in India, we are now able to shoot in these foreign locations, a manager reveals. "Cities like Dubai and Abhudbahi provide 50% refund of shooting expenditure when we provide all the bills. That makes the production cost equal to what we have to spend in India for an outdoor song. So, its better to shoot abroad rather India for visual feast", he says.
Countries like UK and Switzerland are not providing such perks to filmmakers, but starting with Japan to Canada, Dubai to Portugal, they are providing decent offers to producers in case if we shoot there. It's a win-win situation folks!!
