New Delhi: Bollywood producers are now eyeing hitherto unexplored locales in Pakistan, and an Indian film 'Raqeeb' would be shot in July in Lahore and Rawalpindi.

"With the thaw in Indo-Pak relations, it has now become possible to shoot in Pakistan. Unlike most places in India, the old world charm is still visible in Pakistan. The havelis and bazars of Lahore are still untouched by modernism," says Ram Ji Sandhu, producer of the film.

"We would be mainly concentrating on showing the traditional bazars of Lahore, the old havelis, the customs and traditions there," says Sandhu.

"Also, unlike most Bollywood films, which till now have shown animosity between the two neighbours, Raqeeb tries to bring out the bond of friendship which exists between the people there, the hospitality of Pakistanis and the love they have for Indians," says Sandhu.

Sandhu says they have already got permission from the Film Producers Association in Mumbai to shoot in Pakistan and the Association is now working with the Pakistani High Commission here to chalk out the details of the shooting schedule.

The shooting would start in Pakistan in July and would take around 15 days. But before that in the first and second leg, we would be shooting in Poland and India, he says.
