Nov 11, 2008 No Comments »

You may feel fascinated by the glamorous dream world of Bollywooid where everything seems possible. But, in reality that may not be completely true. The fact that reel world is nothing except a part of the real world became evident when the Bollywood industry was hit by the economic slump that has taken the entire world by storm.

What may surprise you even more is that big producer like Vipul Shah, whose last movie Singh Is King did wonders at the Box office, haven’t been left untouched by the entire economic slowdown. Other big producers like Bollywood Badshah King Khan himself and the audio king Bhushan Kumar of T-Series have had to rethink their strategies considering the financial factors.

Not only the producers but the favorite stars of Hindi film industry have been affected by this trend. Stars like Salman Khan, who don’t compromise with their price at any cost, have had to reduce their price by a huge amount at the request of their produces to help them during these difficult times.

Dev Anand is our ever green hero (no matter how gross he looks in his latest movies) and we know Scotland mostly by the Scotland Yard. Dev Anand is apparently building a Bollywood studio on the outskirts of Inverness, the main town on the northern reaches of Scotland that is known as the Highlands. Although he is building the studio for his current film he says it is going to function there permanently. Dev Anand says he was the one who introduced the beautiful Scotland to Bollywood and ever since he "discovered" the country, Bollywood has made around 8 movies in Scotland. Well, that must do some real good for the small European country.
