Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 3: Renowned Indian model, actor and producer Sameer Dharmadhikari recently concluded a comprehensive familiarity trip across Chile, aimed at exploring the nation’s diverse landscapes and potential as a prime location for future film productions. Following the inspiring tour, Dharmadhikari expressed enthusiasm for shooting in the country and announced an upcoming meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric during his official visit to India.
The week-long journey, facilitated by “Pro Chile,” provided Dharmadhikari with an in-depth look at Chile’s offerings for filmmakers. Starting in Santiago, he engaged in productive discussions with local producers and cultural ministry officials regarding filming opportunities. The itinerary included visits to key locations such as the vibrant Lastarria neighborhood, Santa Lucía Hill, and the picturesque Los Dominicos village in Santiago; the coastal city of Viña del Mar with its beautiful landscapes and casino; the uniquely artistic city of Valparaíso; the stunning Atacama Desert; and the beaches of Bahía Inglesa on the Pacific coast.

From the culture of Santiago to the artistic soul of Valparaíso and the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert, the country offers incredible diversity. Valparaíso, in particular, was mesmerizing – a beautifully cultured place with amazing music and art. I’m already writing a script based there.”
