        Indian 
          Hands Helped Decorating 'Gladiator' 
         
        
  
          
New 
          light has been thrown on Indians' help in decorating the life-like sets 
          and costumes of Ridley Scott's acclaimed film, Gladiator, which is made 
          its mark even in India. It has been revealed that Crispan Sallis, who 
          had been hired as art decorator for the film, took help of his friends 
          in India - Nitish Roy and Sunil Pillai (of Nitish Roy & Associates) 
          to design portions of the sets of the Roman saga, Gladiator. The whole 
          designing was done in six weeks of working round the clock, and tons 
          of materials and sets were shipped to Malta, for use in Rome's Colosseum, 
          the arena and the emperor's palace. Thousands of saris were purchased 
          from Hyderabad, Jaipur and Jodhpur and, in all, goods worth Rs. 3 crores 
          were shipped. But the hard work done by the Indians, which gave a rich 
          look to the film, did not get much publicity.
