A statue of Sridevi to be installed in Switzerland

In a marked departure with norms, the Swiss government has declared that they are going to install a statue of Sridevi in their country. The Switzerland authorities are planning to install a statue of the late actress whose super-hit movie Chandni was shot at the country's picturesque locations. The statue of the renowned Indian filmmaker, Yash Chopra, was unveiled in Interlaken in 2016. Many of Chopra's films featured Switzerland as a backdrop and he is credited with boosting the popularity of the Alpine nation among Indian tourists. Now, considering Sridevi's role in promoting tourism here, there is a proposal to honour her by having her statue. The 1989 blockbuster Chandni had also put Switzerland on center stage as almost half the song and dance sequences in the film had a Swiss backdrop. Raj Kapoor's 1964 film Sangam was the first Indian film shot in Switzerland, which was followed by An Evening in Paris in 1967. Since then Bollywood made Switzerland their favourite shooting location paving way to cement the image of the country's alpine scenery as a romantic paradise for Indians.
