Shooting of the show underway near the Badi Lake in Udaipur
Rajasthan is an undisputed choice for TV show makers, courtesy its exotic locations and easy availability of animals
It is not just Bollywood and Hollywood flicks shot in Rajasthan that have made the state a hit with international and Indian filmmakers. The cast and crew of international TV series like " Battle Of Quadisiyah" and " Caminho Das Indias" had stayed here for weeks to shoot there shows, helping it earn great international acclaim. Reason? Rajasthan boasts impressive structures which carry great historical significance. "According to me, there is so much to explore in Rajasthan especially for those who head to the state with the aim of making either a show, an ad film or a flick. For instance, the forts, citadels and palaces that one finds here sets Rajasthan apart from what one gets to see in other parts of India," says Sanjay B Soni, who has been handling international and national projects in Rajasthan for over a decade now. And the credit, he believes, goes to his entire team that works together to ensure the shoots happen without any hassles.
For director Muthana Subh, who hails from Syria, Rajasthan ought to be the destination for his forthcoming project too. Muthana, who was in Rajasthan last year to shoot "Battle Of Quadisiyah", tells JT he had an amazing experiencing while working with the Indian cast and crew. "I had a great time shooting for the series last year. Be it the people, locales, weather conditions, virtually everything worked in our favour while we were in Udaipur," he says.
And as he says, his experience has been such that he wouldn't mind coming back to Rajasthan for another shoot. "India is undoubtedly a beautiful country, with the options to shoot increasing by the day. From what we have seen and heard so far, Rajasthan attracts several filmmakers because it is cost-effective and offers several exotic locations. I hope to get back to Rajasthan to shoot another show."
The easy availability of elephants, camels and horses in large numbers in Rajasthan also proved advantageous for his team. "If you ask us about the cost, it is relatively cheaper to what we would have spent in our country," he says.
