Chile is a filmmakers dream Sanjay Khanduri had initially planned to shoot in Morocco but changed his plans after a five-day trip to Chile sponsored by the government. He was mesmerised by the countrys cinematic locations from the Atacama Desert to the hills of Valparaiso and the nights of Santiago. He called Chile a filmmakers dream. Unlike most white Europeans the people here are like Indians. They have a fair complexion their faces dark hair and wonderful smiles. Its perfect for Bollywood said Sanjay Khanduri.
It is no coincidence that the sequel of a film appreciated in Mexico is going to Chile. The first film Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local gained immense popularity in Mexico. It won many awards there and Sanjay Khanduri aims to strengthen relations. He said Chiles youth likes Bollywood music and dance.
