"Verses of love" behind the scene

Hanung Bramantyo, the film director of "Ayat-ayat cinta" wrote an interesting post of the challenges, frustration and difficulties in shooting this movie.

I find it eye-opening, sometimes hilarious.

Amongst others:

- At some point, the producers (Of Indian descent) want to make it more pop, more youthful, meaning more "Kuch kuch Hota Hai"

- Ryanti Catwright playing Aisha, has to juggle her job as MTV VJ and her being deported. (She has UK passport)

- Thinking that Jodhpur in India is an isolated location, not a popular tourist destination (C'mon Hanung, you should have known better!), the crew had to ride a (mini) bus for the 24 hours travel time from Mumbai instead of a plane tickets.
