A Bollywood blockbuster filmed in Leicester is due to open in the city on Friday.
Action-comedy Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (Mad, Madder, Maddest 2) features high-profile Bollywood actors Sunny and Bobby Deol, alongside their famous father, Dharmendra Deol.
It will be shown at the Odeon, in Freemens Park, after premiering in India this week.
The movie was directed by Sangeeth Sivan, a filmmaker from Mumbai, India, who recruited hundreds of students from the University of Leicester, as well as local extras who applied for a part in the film following an appeal in the Mercury.
Dancers Nimisha Patel, 23, and her boyfriend Durgesh Makwana, 25, were two of the 700 support cast.
They run the DNS Productions dance troop and took 10 of their dancers to the shoot last September.
Nimisha, from Hamilton, said: "I can't wait to see the film, I'm very excited.
"We're taking our dance troop to see the film this weekend."
University spokesman, Ather Mirza, said: "It is an inspiration for our students to work with stars of the calibre of Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby.
"As a film industry dynasty, they are tremendously well-respected and well-known, and their presence on campus will have a huge impact."
The film also features Anupam Ker, who starred alongside Leicester's Parminder Nagra in Bend it like Beckham.
But it is the numerous city locations which appear in the film that will be most familiar to Leicester cinema-goers.
Scenes were filmed in the shopping areas of Belgrave Road and MacDonald Road, as well at New Walk Museum and the National Space Centre. In the county, a lavish wedding scene was filmed at Stanford Hall.
Amupan Ker, who plays a comedy villain in the film, tweeted a photo of himself at the National Space Centre, where he spent the night filming, adding "What an amazing place to be in. Educative and entertaining :)".
University of Leicester buildings, the David Wilson Library, the Charles Wilson Building, the Botanical Gardens and The Knoll student's halls of residence also appear.
Actor Sunny Deol plays a mature student studying at the university. Mr Deol, 56, whose wife is from Rutland and children were born in Leicester, said: "We have been made to feel very welcome. The scenes we've shot at the University of Leicester are an integral part of the film. It's a beautiful location for what will be a fabulous family film."
Mr Deol's father, Dharmendra Deol, 77, who has performed in 275 Indian films, said: "Leicester is such a lovely location and we are very pleased to be able to film here."
This is not the first time Bollywood has used Leicester as a scenic backdrop. Raakh (Ashes) was filmed in the city in 2004 and Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doo (What Name Shall I Call Our Love) in 2001.
