Being an Extra in Bollywood

Just in case you plan to visit Mumbai from abroad here is how you might become an extra at a Bollywood production. Stroll down Colaba Causeway and chances are you will be approached by a local casting agent who is trying to find foreign models for a current production. I was an extra yesterday and really enjoyed the experience with other people from Finland, Uzbekhistan, USA, Canada, South Africa, Belgium, Turkey, Iran. It was hard work though: 15 hours hanging around on the set - but eventually we had our appearance. So watch out for the musical "Yuvraaj" with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Ah yes, I am the one at the table at the left with the glitter suit and red tie enjoying the dance show in the party scene.

I have an obsession with Bollywood culture...maybe next time I go to India, I can be an extra too. Thanks for sharing.
