IMs Bollywood movie extra, and film set tour, how to thread... (not sure to post this in Mumbai, or Movies forum?)

Every few months or so someone asks the same questions about the possibility of going on a Bollywood Movie Tour, or stuff about Bollywood, Mumbai, Film City, or the ins and outs of being a Bollywood movie extra. And of course the million dollar question, How do I meet Shahrukh Khan or Sridevi?

So I have compiled here some general threads on India Mike that in the past have already gone over all of these questions and have given answers and direct insight into the Mumbai Bollywood scene. These threads and the links in them are I think some of the best resources on the web on the travel Bollywood experience.

If anyone has anymore links to add please do post them. This thread is meant to be a resource for the potential Mumbai traveler, on how to see and do things Bollywood there. Also links or personal experiences with being a Bollywood extra, having gone on a film set tour, or meeting a Bollywood star, are welcome on this thread.

Please refrain from posting questions about Bollywood already answered in the links on this thread. Please refrain from posting off topic conversations on this thread.
