Chief Pravesh Sahni from India Take One Productions says "Trains are the backbone of the film. We'll pay for the shooting and also mention Indian Railways in the credit line. The shooting was supposed to happen in October-November. Now, we've postponed it to January-February. For the past three months, we've been trying to get things in order. The film has Daniel Craig doing stunts on a freight train."
Location shooting on the film will take place in India and South Africa and if the sequence can't be shot in India , the production has a back up plan to relocate the stunt in South Africa.
The production company has yet to get an official response from those in charge of the railway infastructure
"While the Indian Railway has given us permission to shoot, I need to meet someone and explain how important it is for us to block two tracks for eight hours a day over five to six days. For the past 15 days, I've been trying to get someone to hear me out. South African authorities are waiting to provide everything that is required to support this movie. If we can't get this cooperation from India, the film will no longer be shot here."
India's Railway minister Dinesh Trivedi is now said to be looking into the matter...

Sam Mendes directs from a script by Patrick Marber John Logan Neal Purvis and Robert Wade
