There's a new Bollywood blockbuster in town, and it's set in Britain. The beautiful Lake District in Cumbria provides the backdrop for ‘Mr Bhatti on Chutti', starring Anupam Kher, one of the biggest stars of Indian cinema.

‘Mr Bhatti on Chutti' (which translates as ‘Mr Bhatti on Holiday') tells the tale of a group of Indian tourists who visit the Lakes, but become mixed up in the saga of a missing British woman. As the search gets underway, a comedy of errors unfolds and lots of secrets are revealed. Anupam Kher plays Mr Bhatti - he also starred in Bend it Like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice.

The blockbuster was mainly filmed in the historic city of Carlisle and in the area around Windermere, home to the largest natural lake in England. The Lake District was chosen for its dramatic views, and it's not hard to see why. With 16 sparkling lakes, the scenery has inspired the work of many writers and poets, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

So when you come to Britain, visit Cumbria and see the beautiful film locations for yourself.
