New James Bond Movie Set To Film In India
After visiting some of the most glamorous and exotic locations across the globe, the world’s most famous spy is going to India to shoot the next James Bond film at the likes of the humble Sarojini Nagar market in Delhi and relatively unknown town of Navagam near Ahmedabad. Other possible locations could include the gorgeous sandy beaches of Goa and bustling business district of Mumbai.
The Indian Government granted permission to India Take One Productions to shoot the yet to be named 23rd James Bond film, which will be directed by Sam Mendes and is to be released on 9th November 2012.
In 1983, James Bond’s 13rd film, Octopussy, was extensively filmed in India at the City Palace in Udaipur.

The new James Bond film will join an increasing number of foreign films that are being given permission to shoot in India. At the last count, 22 films including ‘Mission Impossible 4′, ‘Singularity’, ‘Life of Pi’ and ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ had been given permission to film in India. In recent years, films such as the 2008 Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire have also been worldwide hits, offering India a welcomed boost to tourism.
The BBC also stated that, “there have also been reports that some of the shoot will take place in South Africa, and that filming would begin by the end of the year.”
