“I’m still around.” — Bindy Johal.
Updated with name changes.
Toronto director Deepa Mehta’s upcoming film Beeba Boys (working title Inland) is inspired by the story of B.C.’s notorious Indo-gangster “Bindy” Singh Johal and his Punjabi Mafia gang known as the Beeba Boys. Gunned down in a nightclub in 1998, Johal was a hero to many Indo-Canadians and a sociopath to others. Beeba Boys began filming in Toronto with Randeep Hooda as fictionalized gangster Jeet Johar in mid-July and has an eclectic Indian, Canadian and American cast. Toronto actress Sarah Allen (Remedy) plays the female lead in this male-centric story.

Late last month, Beeba Boys moved production to the scene of the Beeba Boys’ crimes and spent a week filming all over Vancouver. Last Thursday, it shot scenes of the Beeba Boys near the former Vancouver Police Department building on Main Street, with real VPD officers and backgrounder VPD officers on set.

Production then moved to a set near the Vancouver Art Gallery with what looked like a hundred backgrounders.
And continued Friday on a rooftop in Chinatown.
And a camera drone on Saturday.
