Made the summer heat of Rajasthan in which we shot totally worth it. This one was, and still is, waaaaaay too art house for the Indian market. Fun fact- I drove an old 50’s truck through the streets of Jaipur and even took a sharp U-turn on a narrow street. Why do I remember that? You should try it 😂!
