Bollywood comes to Holy Land for film about Jesus

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Indian filmmakers say they're in the Holy Land to shoot the first Bollywood movie on the early life of Jesus.
Director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao says his production will have an all-Indian cast of child actors, featuring seven devotional songs.
Producer Konda Krishnam Raju said at a news conference Tuesday that the film focuses on the childhood of Jesus, a contrast with other movies that depict his later years.
"This is the first presentation of this type in Bollywood history," he added.
At $30 million, the filmmakers say, it's one of India's highest budget movies. An average Indian movie costs about $500,000.
Aditya Productions plans to release the movie next year.
Christians in India number 24 million, or about 2.3 percent of the population.
