Bollywood news : Bollywood comes to Sydney

The first Bollywood film to be set entirely in Sydney, Heyy Babyy was previewed last night at the State Theatre in Sydney, two days ahead of its world-premiere in Mumbai today.

More than 200 high-profile guests were showered with flower petals as they walked the red carpet – a traditional Indian welcome. Guests were entertained by a cast of Indian dancers, a bhangara drummer and a henna tattooist as they feasted on authentic Indian cuisine.

Minister for Tourism Matt Brown welcomed a mix of film industry representatives including leading film producers, John Winter and Jim McElroy, actors Jessica Napier and Deborah Lee Furness along with Indian Business leaders, 20 top-tier Indian travel wholesalers and representatives of the NSW tourism industry.
