Taj Mahal erected for Slumdog Millionaire

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,January 21 2009]

With Danny Boyle's scintillating 'Slumdog Millionaire' ready for Indian release, here comes an exciting fact about this film. As the filmmaker had plans about shooting a particular scene at Taj Mahal, his hopes were dashed as he wasn't granted permission to shoot there. With no options, the auteur brimmed with ideas about erecting it on sets.

Set Decorator Nithin Desai who splendidly created the ambience of 'Kaun Banega Crorepathi' was Danny's only choice. On the pars, Nithin exceeded everyone's expectations as he recreated the grand monument including the interiors of Dargah.

High-spirited Nithin says that he shared wonderful moments working with a versatile filmmaker like Danny Boyle. He also adds up 'Indeed, I wasn't expecting that the film would go far-framed with such glorious felicitations across the globe…'

Well always expected the unexpected, isn't it what they say?
