A new shooting destination has opened for Bollywood filmmakers with Jahnu Barua’s movie Har Pall .
Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Koyla' could not do the trick, and the crew of another blockbuster of the King Khan, Dil Se - did not turn up for shooting in the region, substituting a mock setting for Assam's Lumding railway station.
But now there are speculations that Bollywood would discover a new destination in the rugged and picturesque terrains of the North East once 'Har Pall' hits the silver screen sometime in April next year.
Featuring actors like Preity Zinta , Shiney Ahuja and Dharmendra , Assamese director Jahnu Barua's 'Har Pall' is said to be among the handful of big-budget Hindi movies to be shot in the north-east.
"The entire crew was excited. We had a fantastic time shooting the film here," said director Barua at the shoot of the film in Laitlym near Shillong.
"Shillong was not known to Bollywood, but now with 'Har Pall' people will come to know about this beautiful place," he said.
