STARS of the South Indian film industry are making their latest film in Croydon.
Mollywood heavyweight Prithviraj and his co-stars are filming scenes for London Bridge from a house in Addington Road, Sanderstead.
The Malayalam movie is directed by celebrated director Anil C Menon and written by Jinu Abraham.
It tells the tale of an ambitious young man who gets caught in a love triangle with two women.
Prithviraj, 30, told the Advertiser: "I play an entrepreneur in London - this young, upcoming professional - all he wants in life is to become rich.
"And falling in love is never in the scheme of things…"
The award-winning actor's love interests are played by fellow Mollywood stars Andrea Jeremiah and Nandita Raj.
The crew has been filming in Addington Road since Saturday and expects to be there for two or three more days.
The rest of the film will be shot in Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye. It is the first South Indian film to be shot entirely in the U.K.
Prithviraj added: "This is the first time I have spent time in Croydon.
"It is convenient for us to be shooting here because it is not as crowded as central London.
"We are filming here the scenes in houses - once we start filming the outdoors we will move back to central London.
"The neighbours have been really supportive."
Addington fire brigade confirmed it had been called twice to the set due to false alarms.
Prithviraj, who also produces films, won best actor at the Kerala State Film Awards in 2006 and 2012.
He is married to BBC India reporter Supriya Menon.
London Bridge is due out on September 16.
