Australia is leaving no stone unturned to create a positive image of the country back in India after a series of alleged racist attacks got major media attention portraying a negative image.
And a Telugu film being shot in Melbourne is the centre of attraction for the Australian politicians to send a friendly message to Indians. Orange – the latest flick of Ramcharan Tej saw a surprising visitor to the sets during its shooting in South Bank area of Melbourne. Bronwyn Pike, Member of Parliament for Melbourne and Minister for Education, Skills and Workforce Participation, spent the morning on the sets interacting with the stars.
“Orange is the biggest and longest film shoot of an Indian film in Australia and will employ more than 250 Victorians as cast and crew during filming,” Ms. Pike said. She said the Brumby Labour Government is proud that the wonderful city is playing a leading role in the much awaited film. She expects that the film will carry a positive image of Melbourne and that Victoria ‘is the place to be'.
The film starring the charming Geneila De Souza alongside Ramcharan Tej will tell the story of a young Indian student who has settled in Melbourne and falls in love, and the twists and turns that accompany relationships. Orange will be filmed at a number of Melbourne locations, including ACDC and Hosier lanes, Southbank, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, the West Gate Bridge and Docklands.
Anupam Sharma, a member of the production unit said the Melbourne community was welcoming and film-friendly.
The film is set against the backdrop of Melbourne and is using a mix of local and international cast and crew to make the movie. The film will hit the screens later part of the year.
