Another possible location has made its way into the press rumor cycle.

According to The Times of India, James Bond may be location scouting on the stunning Konkan Railway, which runs from Mangalore to Mumbai. The scenery along the line is purportedly stunning.

The information is scant and as MI6 reminds us, India has managed to be rumored as a location for every film since, and including, Die Another Day.

What details there are come in the form of an uncited quote from an insider:

It’s at a nascent stage. Everything is being kept under wraps now. Permissions are being sought from the ministry. There have been talks about location scouting down the Konkan Railway line. If all goes well, the shoot might begin end of this year.

Bond fans will recall 007′s adventures in India in the 1980s for the stunning production of Octopussy.
