Bulgaria: Bollywood's New Favorite Filming Destination

Bulgaria has become a popular destination for Indian film productions, attracting blockbuster shoots and boosting tourism. The country's move towards EU's Schengen area and its diverse tourist attractions are expected to draw even more visitors from India.

Bulgaria has emerged as a new hotspot for Bollywood productions, a trend that is being hailed as a major success by the country's tourism officials. The move is seen as a strategic effort to boost tourism from India.

Georgi Alipiev, Director of International Cooperation at the Bulgarian Ministry of Tourism, believes aligning closer with the European Union's Schengen area will only enhance the country's appeal. Major films like 'Dilwale' and 'Bahubali' have already chosen Bulgaria for their shoots, making it a testament to the country's growing popularity.

Alipiev emphasized the diverse attractions of Sofia and other cities like Plovdiv and Varna, coupled with Bulgaria's booming tourism sector. The country hopes to further solidify its relationship with India, banking on shared democratic values and cultural connections.
