It's now Hollywood outsourcing to India! : HindustanTimes.com

It's now Hollywood outsourcing to India! : HindustanTimes.com
Bypassing decades of government paranoia and suspicion, Indian film studio executives and producers are quietly positioning the country as a potentially large outsourcing destination for Hollywood movies.

Helped by a "film-friendly" government, several executives and producers are snapping up deals that would facilitate Hollywood shoots in India.

In its latest cover story, respected trade journal Screen International said: "A film-friendly government, improved telecom and state-of-the art facilities are helping to transform India into an attractive shooting location for international productions."

"It is our mission to keep working with Hollywood studios and independent producers to convince them about the enormous advantages that India offers. Unlike IT, which is relatively new in India, film production has been as old as anywhere else in the world.

"So we have the necessary technical and creative depth to emerge as a serious rival to Hollywood," Rathore said.
