Less than a year after two of India's favorite actors decamped for Miami to film a romantic comedy, Bollywood mega-star Shahrukh Khan is preparing to make the same trip to shoot one of his country's first big-budget superhero movies.
Ra.One promises to bring imaginary mayhem to South Florida as Khan's character, a Miami software engineer, accidentally gives life to a video-game villain. And while the movie's announced $3 million local budget is modest by Hollywood standards, local production officials see Bollywood's quick return to Miami as a milestone.
Just nine months ago, production officials were touting Miami's first major Bollywood movie: Dostana, the comedy starring Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra that went on to blockbuster status in India. Now there's another Bollywood production coming -- this one with a larger budget and an actor Newsweek last year dubbed the world's biggest movie star.
And though Ra.One won't start shooting until February at the earliest, another Indian movie crew this week was filming in Miami -- a far smaller production with an estimated budget of about $300,000 that officials still see as part of an encouraging trend.
Like Dostana, Ra.One won't bring the kind of windfall a Hollywood feature delivers to South Florida's production industry. India makes movies for far less money than the United States does, and Ra.One plans on bringing crews from Mumbai to avoid the higher wages demanded by many of Florida's unionized production workers.
The two productions will bring a burst of activity for an industry that saw a sharp drop in business in 2009. The culprits: a global recession and cuts in Florida's movie and TV subsidy fund from its 2007 peak of $25 million to this year's $11 million.
Past studies credit the ``Bollywood Effect' for bringing Indian travelers to obscure destinations in Europe and the Pacific picked as locations for Indian films. Now with India's 1.1 billion population increasingly producing affluent families, the Bollywood Effect is seen as more lucrative.
``It's a huge market and language is not a barrier, as it is in China,' said Rolando Aedo, senior vice president of marketing for the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, which is mostly funded by county taxes on hotels. ``The fact that we've got this movie that's going to deliver more media impressions than I could ever afford to buy, even in the best of times -- the timing is extremely fortunate.'
While Dostana portrayed Miami as a glamorous place to fall in love, Ra.One plans a more ominous take on the city. Khan's Shekhar must take the form of a video-game hero in order to battle the technological monster he created: a powerful being called Ra.One.
Movie producers have tentative approval to close portions of Brickell Avenue twice on Sundays in late February or March for a car chase relating to the monster mayhem caused by Ra.One. And film officials say the fights and chases will stretch into South Beach, the Miami River and other parts of downtown Miami.
Bollywood blogs already are buzzing about Ra.One and its Miami plans. Most of the attention centers on Khan, a Bollywood mega star often described as a cross between Brad Pitt and George Clooney in terms of fame and popularity.
Many Bollywood films are inspired by other films and then go on to become extraordinary cult movies. The best part is that some of these are one of the biggest Bollywood hits and we had no clue that the stories were inspired by other films.
Yes, we know that the films are different but the theme of the films is extremely similar. Also, we love the Bollywood version of it and this film gained the cult status but Breaking Away was released in the year 1979.
Both these films belong to the comedy genre and will entertain you equally. Also, there are many subplots that are different in the film but the plot of the films are more or less the same. Also, Hitch released years before Partner.
Even the posters of this film are almost the same. The movie is based on similar concept and even the direction is more or less the same. There are very little differences but someone who has watched Love Actually would know that the film is more or less a copy.
