So we are in Mumbai right now.
Walking down the street yesterday, we got stopped by a scout and asked to be in a Bollywood movie. Even though we were fresh off an overnight bus from Udaipur and tired, how could we pass it up? We got picked up down-town around 4pm and got driven to the studio lot. There we got wardrobe/hair/make-uped up. Shooting took until around midnight. We got food, water, chai, and 500 rupees each (around $12.50 CAD).
Andrea played one role, and Craig played two roles so he had to go through wardrobe twice. Let's just say that his moustache was a deciding factor in which roles he'd play. We're not going to tell anyone exactly what roles either of us played until the movie comes out.
It's called "No Problem" and stars Anil Kapoor of Slumdog Millionaire (the game show host) and former Miss World Yukta Mookhey.
For people who are not familiar with the Bollywood industry, it is the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. It produces more films per year than Hollywood, and has the same or greater yearly worldwide audience. Basically, Bollywood movies are HUGE here - a way bigger deal than English-language, Hollywood films.
We're excited to see the finished film and see if either of us made the cut!
