Our Favourite Trivia:
Anderson's Hotel Chevalier, starring Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman, acts as a prologue to the film.Wes Anderson said that the film was partly inspired by The River (1951). He also said he owes a debt of gratitude to Martin Scorsese for screening the film personally for him. Anderson also drew inspiration from Satyajit Ray's films and Louis Malle's Indian documentaries.
Towards the end of the film, the painted portrait on the wall of the "Bengal Lancer" compartment is of director Satyajit Ray. The film is also dedicated to him.
The three brothers are named after Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, and Jack Nicholson.
The train scenes were filmed inside a moving train travelling from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer and through the Thar desert. Nothing could be fixed to the ceiling, and filming equipment couldn't be more than a meter out of the windows. Wes Anderson and production designer Mark Friedberg went to the Northwestern Railways company and told them they needed ten rail-cars and a locomotive, which they would redecorate entirely and then move around their railway. Northwestern Railways had never gotten such a request, and though it took a lot of time and effort, it was eventually granted.
Much of the film was shot in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The Himalaya scenes were shot in Udaipur, and the opening scene of the film was also shot on the streets of Jodhpur. The International Airport shown near the end is the old terminal building of Udaipur Airport. The elephant scene was filmed in Narlai. The scenes set in New York were filmed in Long Island City.
Despite the enormous luggage they carry, the characters wear the same suits throughout the movie.
In order to achieve a constant limp while filming, Owen Wilson placed a small lime in his shoe.
Francis (Owen Wilson) is suspected of attempting suicide. When the film was released, Wilson had pulled out of all press duties following a real-life suicide attempt.
This is Amara Karan's film debut. While she was still being considered for the role, she received the script and discovered that Rita smokes cigarettes. She enlisted some friends to help her practice smoking. During a meeting with Wes Anderson, she casually tossed a cigarette into her mouth and started smoking, later admitting in an interview, "I am sure it must have looked really spontaneous."
Bill Murray was originally scheduled for three days of filming. He shot his entire role in a day and a half then stayed on in India for a month.
Natalie Portman travelled to Jodhpur, India, for thirty minutes of shooting, then spent ten days exploring India.
