When it comes to the Commonwealth Games, shows a new documentary on the city's preparations for the gala event


Forget the cynics; the fact-sheet says something else. The capital's bracing up for the Commonwealth Games like never before, and the milestones are many. UTV, in association with Public Diplomacy Division of Ministry of External Affairs, has documented the whole deal so far in a film called We Are Ready, with an aim to give a clear, concise picture of how far we've come. We spoke to Rahul Bhatia, Vice President, dubbing and North TV, UTV Television.


Where was the lion's share of the film shot?
At different venues, from the Delhi Sports Complex to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to MGF sites and more.

How much time did the production take?
Seven-eight months. We were a small crew with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

What was the most challenging part?
Getting all the right facts, figures and people.
