Bollywood comes to Korea
Bollywood filmmakers are famous for their constant search for new and exotic locations as backdrops for their films.
The latest destination is Korea where Mahesh Bhatt's new film, Gangster is being shot.
The first Indian film to win this honour stars Emraan Hashmi, Shiney Ahuja and newcomer Kangana Ranaut. And the entire crew is clearly enjoying this first of its kind experience in Seoul.
From the picturesque Han river bank in Seoul to the city's biggest fish market -- the Jongno fisheries. Also, from popular markets Myondong and Insadong and the Namdemun and the Tomdemun gates.
"We see it as cultural exchange. This will encourage more Indians to come to Korea," says Yang Rae Kim, Director-General, KOFACE.
Given the popularity of Bollywood films across the globe, the Koreans hope this will change the perception of the country being primarily a business destination and instead give the tourism industry a boost.
