According to an article regarding the "Bollywood" Oscars in Tampa, it is possible:

 

TAMPA — Bollywood superstar Anil Kapoor has been in Tampa all week scouting locations for a film that could start production as soon as the city bids farewell to the big bash known as the International Indian Film Academy Weekend & Awards.

 

The movie, produced by Kapoor's daughter Rhea, is about Indian college students adjusting to life at an American university. The setting is the University of South Florida.

 

Its local backers hope the venture can help kick-start a Tampa film industry.

 

“I want to make this a community film, and hopefully it gets done in that way and more come after it,†said Kiran Patel, a Tampa philanthropist with Indian roots who's credited with helping to land the April 24 event, also known as the Bollywood Oscars.
