Did you know Skyfall was supposed to be shot in India, but James Bond producers rejected this one condition
Hindustan TimesThe James Bond film Skyfall was supposed to be partially shot in India, but a variety of factors, including a list of conditions laid down by the railway ministry, forced the producers to drop the idea. Former Union Minister for Railways, Dinesh Trivedi, was quoted by The Hollywood Reporter as having said in a 2014 parliament discussion that he had put forth a list of conditions for the producers, one of which involved Daniel Craig's James Bond endorsing the Indian Railways. “I put three conditions: that they will not show that passengers in India travel on roofs of trains; that there will be no compromise with safety during the shoot; and that James Bond would sign up as a brand ambassador for Indian Railways,” he said. “As per the third condition, which was only added in jest, James Bond would be required to say that ‘Indian Railways is stronger than James Bond.’ ” The producers agreed to the second and third conditions but didn't budge on the first one.
