The 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks are all set to come to the big screen. Hotel Mumbai, featuring Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Anupam Kher (Silver Lining Playbook), Armie Hammer (The Social Network) and Nazanin Boniadi (Ben Hur), the film will tell the story of the Mumbai bombings through its survivors. Directed by South Australian filmmaker Anthony Maras, the film was just wrapped up in South Australia.
Hotel Mumbai has been shot in Adelaide Studios, which was transformed into the interior of Mumbai’s iconic Taj Mahal Hotel, one of the terrorist attack targets. The attack lasted four days, killed 164 people and wounded 308.
