Indian Film Completes Successful Shoot in Georgia
An Indian film crew experienced the best of Georgia this month. The Southern Indian language film crew from Telugu shot in the two cities of Tbilisi and Batumi in some of the most popular and scenic locations.
The group concluded its successful shooting by celebrating in Tbilisi with a thank you reception on 16 March hosted by the Indian manager and organizer of the crew, Richard Wallace, Amala Locations Pvt. Ltd.
GT Production and Voyager, Tbilisi’s well-known travel group and event planner, were the local line managers of the film.
“We fell in love with the Georgians thanks to the help received from Voyager and everyone else involved. I’m going to bring more of Indian cinema after this great experience,” Wallace said, adding that, “we’ve shot in many other parts of the world, but the Georgian locations have something truly unique and mesmerizing to offer”.
“Ketevan Tandilashvili and Hammad Farid of GT Production and Voyager were our Georgian members who became the backbone of making this shoot happen. They are already a part of the vast Indian film family now,” Wallace said, thanking Georgia for the special welcome and warmth.
The head of Voyager said, “we were very impressed with the hard work and dedication with which the Indian crew completed its shoot. We wish the film great success and hope to see more such crews in the years to come. The crew used the best of equipment and facilities, in a jointly coordinated effort between our company and Amala Locations. This was a good example to show how well Indians and Georgians can work together”.
The film, its name yet to be revealed, is produced by an Indian company called Veeranjaneya Productions, and stars famous names of the southern cinema, Naveen Chandra and Shalini Vadnikatti. Raja Ravindra, another well-known name in Indian cinema, also shot sequences for the film. The shooting was led by Producer Sai Abhishek and Directed by Dr Anil Viswanath.
“It is a well-known trend in India that wherever South Indian cinema goes, Bollywood and Indian tourists follow. So be prepared Georgia, to see more and more of us. We look forward to showcasing the best of Georgia to Indian film lovers and tourists together with our wonderful Georgian friends,” Wallace concluded.
