Paris gets a taste of Bollywood as the trailer of Ranveer Singh and Vani Kapoor’s ‘Befikre’ was launched at the Eiffel tower. The Aditya Chopra directed movie becomes the first the first film in the history of cinema to have held an event at one of the most famous wonders of the world.
“Paris is one the world’s most beautiful cities and it has been a privilege and an honour to shoot the film here. The kind of support we got from the crew who was almost entirely French and the civic authorities was overwhelming. Without a shadow of doubt this has been my most memorable shooting experience. Spike in tourism has happened before through Hindi films and I can assure the tourism spike from India is going to be huge after this film,” Ranveer Singh told the reporters.
The leading lady of the film, Vani Kapoor, who is quite fluent in her French had a few to say as well.
“There is a very prominent character in the film apart from Dharam and Shyra and that’s Paris. When we were shooting this film here we were not Indian, not French but just ‘Befikre’,” said Vaani.
The trailer was launched in the presence of Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo and Indian Ambassador to France Mohan Kumar. “With this film, Indian people will discover the most prestigious and enigmatic places of Paris. This film will encourage Indians to come to our city. I am honoured that India’s biggest production company and biggest actors have chosen Paris as the location for their film,” said the Mayor.
