My school friend's an actress in Hyderabad who might actually love to blog about her life there. She's done some telugu films on location in London in freezing november in mini-skirts... you have to admire their enthusiasm. I'm dying to go. Some people hold wedding parties in the 5-star hotels inside... Hotel Tara and Sitara.</p> Southie-dadi, I was thinking the same thing!

by contrast — i went to some of the shooting of bunty aur babli, and was shocked to see them shooting scenes right in the middle of downtown benares, lucknow, kanpur… the director, shaad, wanted authentic shots, even if it meant holding back massive crowds to finish a scene. but according to everyone on the set his choice to shoot “on-location” is very very rare these days. ramoji film city and other film cities remain popular despite how silly it can look.

Come on man, you did not think they were…

(OK, visualize this : hands on both ears, and head shaking from side to side) Nana, nana, na, na! Nana, nana, na, na!

Repeat after me – “They are real, and they are spec..tacular!”

(Stomps his feet and storms out)

Now I shall go back to my fantasies about all these fine ladies, unspoilt by the revealations here.
