Bollywood movies which fooled us with their fake locations- Some even created Controversies

Bollywood Movies are grand in every aspect be it Budget, Amazing Locations, Cast, Scintillating Visual and what not

Film-Makers leave no stone unturned to mesmerize the audience. They shoot scenes at locations with spell Bound beauty be it in India or some Foreign Destination.

But, sometimes to cut on the expenses Directors play smart and shoot scenes on customized sets that completely resemble some natural location.

Or sometimes even shoot at foreign location and say its in India.

Have a dekho at some movies which were actually shot at other location but were portrayed as some other;

1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani:

The movie was all about the trip on which a bunch of friends go to, apparently the trek which contributed heavily towards Manali tourism was actually shot in Gulmarg, Kashmir and later brazenly passed off as Manali.Omar Abdullah too got involved and raised a flag because Kashmir was depicted as Manali in the film.
