Romanians to make films in India
NEW DELHI: Filmmakers from Romania would like to shoot films in India if India ‘opens its doors to us’, Romanian ambassador to India Vasile Sofineti said here.
Addressing a meeting in connection with sixty years of Indo-Romanian ties, he said “Two Bollywood movies have been shot in Romania. One is Dost my friend, starring Sanjay Dutt which unfortunately could not get released and the other is Kyun ki starring Salman Khan. Salman Khan was very happy shooting his film in Romania. We are waiting for Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to shoot in Romania.”
He said “Romanians know Bollywood stars very well. A lot of Bollywood movies are shown in Romania. We depend on heart and feelings and that’s why they attract Romanians. We are amazed by the fact that Indian movies are so much alive and humane, and if there is violence, there is music to compensate. People need peace of mind and this is given by Bollywood.
