Filming of the first Bollywood blockbuster to ever be made in Ireland took place in 2011.
Ek Tha Tiger, directed by award-winning director Kabir Khan and starring two of Bollywood's biggest stars, Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan, tells the tale of man sent to Dublin on a secret mission, who falls in love with a woman studying at a fictional dance academy at Trinity College Dublin.
Kabir Khan explained that he needed an impressive university building for the storyline and did not wish to use a British university as they appear so often on television and in film.
He had been at Trinity College some years ago to make a documentary and so decided to use it as a location in the film.
The singing and dancing movie is co-production with the Oscar-winning Irish company Fantastic Films, which is providing a lot of the pre-production services and local crews.
Eleven Indian films have made here before, but never a blockbuster from Bollywood. It is hoped the movie will be released next June.
