The Bollywood film industry is the largest in the world and it is expected that around 50 million people will watch Dubrovnik in its Bollywood debut.Dmitrovic commented that Dubrovnik will not serve as a backdrop for another location, as it has before in other serials, but instead will represent the actual location in modern times, which is extremely important in terms of promoting the destination.A representative of the City of Dubrovnik said that the city has had a very positive experience in similar film and television productions. He added that the filming of the popular series "Game of Thrones" has not only attracted new visitors to the city but also profiled Dubrovnik as a desirable location for local and international producers.
