THE first Hindi movie shot in Fiji this year is in its post-production stage in India.

Supermodel, which was shot in parts of Sigatoka, Nadi and Lautoka, generated much interest in the local community.

It is about the search for a supermodel and the movie's shoot saw the likes of Ashmit Patel, upcoming actress Veena Malik and model-turned-actress Aparna Jadhav gracing our shores.

Movie producer, Ravi Ahlawat, this week said shooting had been completed.

"After shooting in Fiji, the post-production is now in full swing," he said.

"I am planning my next film in Fiji after the release of Supermodel."

Mr Ahlawat said the film was expected to be in cinema screens in either December or January.

On the cast for his next film planned to be shot in Fiji, he said: "I am talking with the stars now and as something is finalised, we will tell you."

Mr Ahlawat told this newspaper earlier the support he received from locals while shooting Supermodel in Fiji was overwhelming.

He said about 90 per cent of the movie was shot in Fiji.

The movie will feature a local businessman and his wife playing the roles of the lead actress Veena Malik's parents.

Part of the movie was also shot in the couple's home at Denarau in Nadi.
