Rlys give green signal to Bond film
Indian Railways gives the go-ahead to the Bond 23 shoot, but with riders
The railway ministry has given the go-ahead for the shooting of the next James Bond film on its properties, with riders though.
According to the ministry, film production company Take 1, which had sought permission to shoot for the next Bond film on rail tracks, submitted a final list of two locations each in Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Goa on Aug 30.
What was worrying the ministry was the request of the company for 'locking off the lines for seven-eight hours a day for seven days in a row'. This would require train schedules to be reworked, said officials.
"We have asked the zonal railways to examine their requirements. Whatever help is needed by them will be given," Chandralekha Mukherjee, executive director of railway ministry, said.
Officials said the ministry granted permission to around 15 such requests in a month but this one had generated a hype as it involved an internationally popular character.
Daniel Craig, who starred Bond in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, will play the secret agent in the tentatively titled Bond 23
