Low budget Australian film captures Indian imagination
Updated
A Bollywood-inspired short film made by students in the Australian city of Adelaide for just $AU3,000, has screened in over 160 countries over the weekend. Mumbai-based Zee TV has picked up the rights to the film Priya, which will screen to a potential audience around the world of more than 100 million people. The short film about an Australian who falls in love with an Indian student has captured the imagination of India. It's being televised as tension still runs high between the two countries over reports of racist attacks on Indian students. As the show's writer and director Chris Kellett explains, sometimes it's the simple love stories that give people hope.
