An Indian film loosely based on last year's Costa Concordia shipwreck is to start shooting this year in the same region of Italy where the disaster happened, the Toscana Film Commission said on Friday.
Shooting of the Tamil-language film was due to start next month but will have to be delayed because local sensitivities on the island of Giglio where the wreck still lies mean it will have to be filmed on a different island.
The luxury liner crashed into the tiny island in January last year with 4,229 people from dozens of countries on board in a tragedy that claimed 32 lives and triggered international concern over cruise ship safety.
"The community on the island is understandably very sensitive. We are trying to find another island in the archipelago where they can shoot," said Raffaella Conti from the commission, which helps producers shoot films in Tuscany.

Movie Review: 'Rajapattai'; Star Cast: Vikram, Deeksha Seth, K Viswanath, Mithra Kurian, Pradeep Rawat; Director: Suseenthiran; Producer: Pvp Cinemas; Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja; Rating - ** - a road unfit to travel.
'Rajapattai', which means 'the path of the king', has turned out to be a poor show in terms of story, script and performances. Director Suseenthiran, known for presenting films with different themes, has failed to impress with his new offering.
The story, script, romance, item song, the characterisation - everything has been poorly conceived and executed. The stunts by Anal Arasu and the cinematography by.

The first full trailer for Chiyaan Vikram's new Kollywood masala blowout, Rajapattai is online.

Vikram is also a veteran of many high profile successful Indian blockbusters like Kanthaswamy, about a superhero in a chicken suit, and Anniyan, where he played a crazy haired serial killer.I can't quite get a grip on what Rajapattai is actually about. If you trust Wikipedia, the story either, "revolves around the issue of land grabbing and how the protagonist becomes involved in it", or, "Vikram is currently filming for Rajapattai alongside Deeksha...
