When we visited Mandawa, a small, yet culturally rich town in Rajasthan for a music festival called Taalbelia recently, little did we know that the place has a strong Bollywood connect. With its rustic essence, quaint surroundings and havelis, this tiny place (with a population of around 55,000 people) has been attracting filmmakers for several years now. The who's who of Bollywood, including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, have shot in Mandawa.
