Cyrus Dastur, who has co-produced the upcoming film "Sweetie Desai Weds NRI", is all praise for Vadodara city for its "tremendous potential" for attracting filmmakers to shoot here.

"'Sweetie Desai Weds NRI' is a humorous take on the Gujarati culture and its different shades," Dastur said.

"The film has been shot entirely in Vadodara and adjoining areas. It is the first Bollywood movie to have been shot entirely in the city, known for being the 'cultural capital of Gujarat'," he claimed.

The city has tremendous potential for drawing filmmakers to shoot their projects here, he said.

Dastur thanked Gujarat Tourism Minister Saurabh Patel for facilitating and extending cooperation to his team to carry out the shooting at the tourist locations in the city.
 

The film's co-producer Dhaval Patel said the movie has portrayed the Gujarati culture in its true form.

Sharad Patel, associate producer of the film, said, "After witnessing the rise of Gujarati cinema, this film, which has been shot entirely in and around Vadodara, will become a trend-setter.
