Manipur to be recreated in Darjeeling for Mary Kom biopic
9th December 2013
Produced by
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the Mary Kom biopic starring
Priyanka Chopra is well on its way to completion, with the last schedule going on floors early next year in Darjeeling.
Though the film is based in Mary Kom's hometown, Manipur, the makers will recreate Manipur in Darjeeling to avoid any delays which the weather may bring.
Says a source, "Though the shoot will take place in Manipur for a week, the cast and crew will then shift base to Darjeeling where they plan to recreate Manipur for some crucial scenes".
Confirming the news says director
Omung Kumar,
"Though we've shot in Manali , our next schedule that will go on floors in February-March wouldn't be possible to be filmed at Manipur since it will be snowing there at that time of the month and hence the idea of shooting at a village near Darjeeling".
