Forget Hollywood and Bollywood the centre of the film world is “Dubrovnikwood.” After being the backdrop for Game of Thrones, Star Wars and the upcoming set for Robin Hood, news today broke of yet another movie blockbuster in Dubrovnik.
The Mayor of Dubrovnik, Andro Vlahušić, met with the producers and main actors of the latest film spectacle to be filmed in Dubrovnik, a Bollywood blockbuster “Prisoner no. 150,” or the original name “Khaidi No. 150.”
After the mega popular Bollywood movie “Fan” was filmed in the city back in May 2015 starring one of the most popular stars of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, the city has been on the radar for Indian film makers. This latest movie, the second Bollywood blockbuster to be filmed in Dubrovnik, will be the first for the popular Indian actor Chiranjeevi after a long nine-year break. It will be the 150th movie he has been involved in and lends its name to the title. Besides being an actor Chiranjeevi has also been involved in politics and from 2012 to 2014 was the Indian Minister of Tourism.
Along with Chiranjeevi was one of the main stars of the movie, the 31-year-old actress and model Kajal Aggarwal. She admitted being a huge fan of the Game of Thrones serial and added that she was taking time between filming to explore the locations of the serial.
