According to Lisbon council, the “mega-production”, an action movie, is being made by the executive production company All Around The Globe.
The company is headquartered in Lisbon but was founded in Mumbai by Indian Dhimant Radia, who has been living in Portugal for seventeen years.
Filming took place last weekend in Lisbon, in key locations such as Comércio Square and the historic Bica neighbourhood.
Lisbon council said the film involves “leading Indian actors as well as international experts in the fields of special effects, art direction, set design and performance, as well as the participation of several Portuguese technical teams”.
The Portuguese capital has seen a marked increase in the number of films and foreign production teams using it as a backdrop.
“The improvement of the licensing deadlines for filming and the creation of the Lisbon Film Commission were two of the measures adopted by the municipality of Lisbon in order to support and streamline the production and production of cinematographic and audiovisual projects”, which may have contributed to its recent growth in popularity, the council explained in its statement.
Lisbon council added that “these projects have brought benefits to Lisbon by promoting and disseminating its historical and cultural heritage, attracting national and international investment and supporting the promotion and modernisation of its economic foundation”.
