Bollywood in the Hub? With the success of Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire," there's a renewed interest in contemporary films coming out of India.Boston will get its taste of Indian cinema when John Abraham Entertainment films the flick "1-800-Love." Abraham, pictured above, is gearing for a two-month production schedule in Boston starting in May.
Abraham teams up with Abbas Tyrewala, an Indian director who won over Bollywood last year with his directorial debut, "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane." The script for "1-800-Love" was written by Tyrewala's wife Pakhi.
“We are going to Boston next year in the summer for the shooting of the film. It will be entirely shot in Boston," Abbas says here. "We will be there for two months. I'm currently preparing for this film as it has a completely different storyline."
The film's premise? Tyrewala says it's an adult comedy "inspired from the toll-free help lines in the US." Sounds like a winner.
