Despite bearing the brunt of terrorists fury last month, Hotel Trident continues to be the hospitality partner of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon with the hotel authorities hosting a press meet on 21st December 2008 to coincide with its re-opening after a gap of 25 days.

A host of dignitaries, including Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President and MP Suresh Kalmadi, the event ambassador John Abraham, actor Rahul Roy attended the media briefing for the sixth edition of the Mumbai Marathon, to be organised in Mumbai on January 18th.

Not to shoot. That is the answer coming from Santosh Sivan Films Pvt. Ltd. as his representative Ritesh Menon returns from Pahalgam, the most popular hill resort in the Kashmir valley. After searching, he was unable to find a suitable filming location for their new venture.

The company was looking to produce a docu-drama featuring Anupam Kher, Rahul Bose and Sarika. The filming schedule was to commence this Saturday for a total of 25 days.

Prior to 1990, Kashmir was one of the most favoured locations for shooting Bollywood movies. Militant activity over the past 12 years forced producers to look for safer places like Himachal Pradesh and abroad.

Since the situation has changed within the past 5 years, many producers have returned, including Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who filmed the much acclaimed Sanjay Dutt, Hrithik Roshan starrer Mission Kashmir in 2000.

Only a few days after his father’s near fatal aerial stunt, Rahul Bose was experiencing one of his own. The stunt crew of Samar Khan’s Shourya assured Bose that everything would be all right with his very first bungee jump, as the supposed experts had over 12,000 successful jumps under their belts. Nothing could go wrong … Right?

However, when Bose jumped from 500 feet in the air, he only completed a 1-foot descent before his harness became caught on the camera which was filming the shoot. If that weren’t enough for him, while dangling frozen in fear from that height, he was asked if he wanted to be let go or pulled back up.

Bose opted to be pulled to safety and refused to redo the stunt once his feet were on firm ground. He returned to Mumbai, where he then realized that had anything worse happened, his signed disclaimer would have released the company from any action taken against their negligence. Very scary indeed!
