Bollywood action-adventure film, Thugs Of Hindostan, filmed in Thailand
Benetone Films is honored to be the supervising producer in Thailand for one of Indian cinema’s biggest films this year, Thugs of Hindostan.
Yash Raj Films Production has pulled off an incredible casting coup by bringing together two of the biggest legends of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan on screen for the first time.
The team filmed in never-seen-before jungles of Thailand, which adds to the scale of the movie. It will be a visual spectacle for audiences when they see the scenes filmed in these exotic locations.
Thugs of Hindostan is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and also stars Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh.
The film is an adaptation of the 1839 novel, Confessions of a Thug that explores the life of a gang that posed a serious challenge to the British Empire in India.

How to shoot successfully in Europe? - 3 Simple Tips
Your creative side wants it…Europe’s inspiring architecture, its hypnotic mountains, sun kissed beaches and wind swept coastlines. Countless legendary films have been shot here, and you know you can make your final product unique and great.
If only…
If only your practical side wasn’t so very aware of the challenges and hurdles, the nightmares of delays and cost overruns in the land of myriad languages and cultures.
Others have failed and you don’t want to be one of them.
But…
What if you could have the beauty without the beast that burns your pocket?
What if you could have it all?
1. Prepare Early
Yes, it’s obvious.
But also boring and so a surprising number procrastinate dealing with the details and end up paying much more than necessary in money and worse, precious time. Validity of passports, applying for visas, advance booking for flights and hotels, arranging your pickup, meals and local transport in Europe, finding a translator, applying for insurance. Also, is everyone including you, your customer and crew, in agreement on the exact objectives of the shoot?
Prepare early. Way early.
2. Research
Thinking about taking your own gear? Make sure it’s compatible with the EU system. Also plan on dealing with customs at the airport.
Shooting in Southern Europe? Consider siesta hours while planning your shoots.
Are there any public or bank holidays during your shoot?
Do you have all the permits you need?
Are vegetarian and other special meals easily available for your crew?
Logistics. Gas is expensive, are you traveling by car or flight? Are your hotels close to the shoot site?
What about medical and other emergencies? Where are the nearest hospitals and how to get there?
Research is the tedious cousin of Tip # 1, and will punish you if ignored.
Attend to this before anything else.
3. Trust a Local Expert
This is the “Relax and Let Go” option, where you place all your tasks in the hands of a Capable Local Expert.
Someone who knows the Ins and Outs.
Someone who can Make Things Happen.
Someone who is able to:
— Produce and Line produce your Film
— Navigate the local culture and language
— Make sure your permits and paperwork are up to date and legitimate.
— Provide expert filming crew and world class equipment
— Enlist the support of local film commissions
— Provide logistics support for accommodation, local travel and filming.

New Music Video - Love Herby by Tia Ray
Benetone Films had a great time line producing the new music video of China's first R&B Pop Princess, Tia Ray.
It was a great experience for us and for the musician. We had a great art team who got us some really slick and unique futuristic set that added a whole new element to the video and the production. We also had stunt performers for some brilliantly choreographed fighting scenes.
We had a beautiful location in an abandoned building in Bangkok, untapped and unused and could potentially be used for another shoot, maybe for your next horror film?
It was an overall satisfying experience knowing everyone part of the production team did an awesome job. Everyone truly created something from nothing.

Film in Myanmar with Benetone Films
“Myanmar is the cool, arthouse film that’s a bit trickier but ultimately a richer experience.We saw things there no one has seen, or I haven’t seen in any documentary before. Yangon is this city with about 1,100 Buddhist temples and they are surrounded by farmland. There’s this incredible vista of trees and peeping above the trees are all these pagodas and temples as far as the eye can see.”
- Dara O Briain and Ed Byrn, BBC

9.8 Films shoots global locations in Thailand for Lay's
Pakistan production house 9.8 Films shoots in Thailand for the new commercial for Lay's, doubling the country for a series of international locations. The new campaign showcase how the new unique flavors of the beloved potato chip brand takes you into a new food journey.
The combination of Thailand's different cultures and traditions doubled up for Australia, Italy and China. The particular locations were chosen to match with each of the different places shown in the campaign. For Italy, we filmed at Venice de Iris Shopping Mall, which was modeled off of the beautiful winding canals of Venice. For Australia, we chose a beach resort at Sattahip, Chonburi which can resemble the famous Australian beaches, and a Chinese temple in Samut Prakan Province for China.
The Lay's project is only one of the many campaigns were Thailand was used to double up for global locations. Israeli production company Rabel Films also used Thailand for the Spring Tea Journey campaign to double for Africa and Brazil.
Thailand is one of the world's best tourist destinations, furthermore, the country is a great destination for filmmakers. The country can provide the backgrounds to bring every filmmaker's vision to life.
