TRIVIA

Trivia

Shot in 65 different locations over 69 days.

Was shot under the title," Winds of Change," to distract potential threats to cast and crew from anti-Rushdie factions.

According to the "Sri Lanka Mirror," filming shut down for four days in March as the Iranian Embassy in Colombo objected to author Salman Rushdie's participation. Filming resumed after director Deepa Mehta met with Sri Lanka President, Mahinda Rajapaksa. He, in turn, then spoke with the Iranian Embassy.

New-comer, Satya Bhabha was cast as Saleem Sinai after the role had been declined by both Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor.

Shashi Kapoor wanted to make the film in 1983 after reading the book. After his offbeat film productions flopped, he dropped the idea.
