The original Baniya shop, which is located near Aishwarya Rai’s La Mare apartment in Bandra, still exists. The owner of the shop, Choonilal Shah tells us about his experience during the original shoot.
“Our shop is seventy years old. The director of the film approached me to use my shop for a one day shoot. Because of some problem they ended up having to use it for 5 days even though they initially said they’d be shooting for only one day,” he says.
About his experience with Mr. India, Choonilal Shah says, “Anil Kapoor would sit down in the shop itself and have his lunch. We had to stop our customers from entering the shop during the shoot.”
