The crew of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel are in Udaipur for their month long shooting at various locations in side city and outskirts (khempura, Udaigarh, Chandpol)  . We broke the news on 8^th October when star cast of the movie landed in Udaipur and on the same night a welcome party was thrown out in a newly opened Hotel Raas Leela on the bank of Lake Pichola. Because of some reasons we could not disclose any picture or exact location of the party that time but today we are excited to tell you that the whole crew of BEMH was traditionally welcomed by Management of Hotel Raas Leela. Let me share some exclusive photos of welcome party clicked by Sayeed Ahmed at Raas Leela on 8 ^th October 2010.
