British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on Tuesday invited Indian film producers to take advantage of "the facilities, expertise and glorious locations" in his country to shoot films.

Clegg today attended 'the muhurat' of Vistaar Film Fund's and WSG Pictures' latest film 'Veda' here.

"Amid the colour, the drama and the spectacle of Bollywood, it is easy to forget how important it is to the Indian economy, generating hundreds of millions of pounds in Mumbai and the rest of India," Clegg said.

"As we have seen with American co-productions on a grand scale, Britain is one of the world's top destinations for film makers. I hope Indian producers will follow their counterparts in the US and take advantage of the UK's facilities, expertise and glorious locations to create the next Indian Star Wars or Game of Thrones," he said.

Host of the evening and former Indian cricketer Farokh Engineer introduced the main cast and crew of the film an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' which includes actor Sanjay Suri, Ashish Bisht who plays the role of Hamlet, director Onir and producer Bhavna Talwar.
