Behind the scenes[]
- "All scripts that are made by foreign film companies have to be submitted to the government for approval. Indians are very sensitive about foreigners criticizing anything in their country."
- ―Roshan Seth[src]
Filming for the India section of the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was filmed in Sri Lanka due to disagreements with the Indian government.
