If the new James Bond movie, Bond 23, is shot at the Dudh Sagar waterfall in Goa, India, Daniel Craig and the crew will have to extra careful.
Locals think of the waterfall as a guardian spirit, and have a list of dos and don’ts that need to be followed near it.

There’s also a temple in its honour in the area. As per the rules followed, people are not supposed to spit near the waterfall or throw non-vegetarian food in the water or shout and scream loudly.
The alternative location for the stunt sequence, which apparently involves Daniel Craig jumping off the train with the waterfall in the backdrop, is in the Indian state of Gujarat. We sense a tourist pique coming on...
