Project Bollywood
Written by Mahtab Narsimhan
Published by Orca Book Publishers
Salman loves Hindi movies and wants to produce a short Bollywood film for his school project.
He gathers his friends when he’s ready with the script, which is a mashup of all the movies he has ever seen. As director, Salman insists everyone follows the script exactly. But it’s full of stereotypes and the cast and crew are not shy about expressing their concerns. Salman wants to remain true to the Bollywood model for his film but when his entire cast threatens to walk out, he has to decide whether to stand firm or find a way to collaborate.
