Gone are the days when most Bollywood beauties defied zero temperatures to drape themselves in chiffon sarees for a romantic number shot in the background of a snow-capped Swiss mountain.

Tired of the usual visual cliches of now-too-familiar London Bridge, London eye, Big Ben, Statue of Liberty, Swiss countryside and its mountains and the beaches of Thailand and Mauritius, filmmakers are now hunting for more exotic locations.

Countries like Latvia, Poland, Germany, Brazil, Peru, Morocco, Egypt, Afghanistan, Turkey and Mexico are fast replacing destinations like New York, London, Bangkok, Switzerland, Mauritius and Paris.

These countries too have come to realise the power of Bollywood in boosting up tourism and trade and for Indian filmmakers it is a win-win situation as the red carpet comes with lucrative co-production deals.
