MUMBAI: Next year, Mel Gibson will make a film at a prison in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz in Mexico.

Veracruz Gov. Fidel Herrera said that a part of the Ignacio Allende prison will be emptied in January "because a grand production will be filmed there with our friend, the actor and producer Mel Gibson."

Herrera gave no details on the film.

Gibson filmed his 2006 Mayan-language film Apocalypto in Veracruz.

Gibson visited the prison in April 2008.
