Bollywood in Malta

‘Thugs of Hindostan’ was shot in Malta. Amitabh Bachchan was in south European country Malta for the shoot ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, which also stars Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Explaining the travel route, Bachcchan wrote in his blog, “Over the waters of the Arabian Sea and on to the sand coloured land of Doha, where we pick up some gasoline for the onward journey. And then on to Malta, flying over Saudi Arabia, over Cairo in Egypt, turning right on to the Mediterranean and driving in the skies straight to the island of Malta.”

Malta Tourism

The Maltese Islands (Malta, Gozo, and Comino) have a fascinating heritage and history. Its surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily, and being close to Tunisia, there is also a distinct North African influence in the region. As a result, the Maltese language sounds like a mix of Arabic and Italian.

Malta’s palm-tree fringed landscape is dotted with picturesque hilltop towns, peaceful seaports, and old fishing villages. Valletta, the capital, is an ideal base to explore the Island of Malta without a car.

Tourists love Valletta’s charming hotels, restaurants, historical sites, and cultural events. Gozo is a great choice for beachside relaxation, snorkeling, scuba diving, and nature hikes.

Malta has the perfect weather for tourists during spring and autumn, although the villages come to life with religious festivals and outdoor concerts during the the hot summer months.
