My apologies, but I was wrong about the location! I originally found the vehicle on an Iranian website, but I see now that it was built in India, not Iran. (This explains the RHD, of course.)

Mercedes W124 transformed by Ferrite Motors to Dodge Charger for 2015 movie "Dilwale".

That's it!

Interestingly, it looks as though the donor W124 was a sedan than had already undergone a cabriolet conversion.
