“The Cheetah Girls” is Disney’s first original movie to be shot in India
|
India is fast turning out to be a destination for Hollywood films. These days Disney Channel is shooting The Cheetah Girls One World, in Udaipur. To be shot completely in the Indian setting, the musical sequel continues the story o
f best friends Chanel, Aqua and Dorinda as they embark on their biggest adventure yet – a role in a Bollywood movie. For the uninitiated, “The Cheetah Girls” first premiered on Disney Channel in the U.S. in 2003 and was followed by “The Cheetah Girls 2” in 2006. Alive with music, dance, colour and Indian culture, the movie celebrates friendship, cultural diversity and encourages tweens to pursue their goals and dreams.
Antoine Villeneuve, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Walt Disney Television International (India), says, “The first Disney Channel Original Movie to be ever shot in India, The Cheetah Girls One World is part of the hugely successful tween-driven, family inclusive franchise. The movie uses local settings, talent and creativity to further strengthen our brand affinity while providing the environment that Indian kids relate to.” The production includes 1500 local extras for the movie, 450 local dancers and 45 principal core dancers from Mumbai.
Based on the book series for kids and tweens by award-winning journalist-turned-author Deborah Gregory (“Jump at the Sun”), the movie stars Sabrina Bryan from the “The Bold and the Beautiful” fame as Dorinda Thomas and platinum-selling recording artists Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams of the R&B/ pop music group 3LW, as Chanel and Aqua, respectively. The movie also stars Roshan Seth, Kunal Sharma, Rupak Ginn, Michael Steger and Deepti Daryanani. The film will premiere this October on Disney Channel India.
