Delusional character Mr Bhatti wins a trip to the Lake District. He decides to take the offer and comes over with a group of Indian tourists. Bhatti mistakenly believes that he has been called over by George W Bush, for supposed peace talks.
But it's not just the scenery and the possible meeting with Bush, which attracts Bhatti's interest. Alice, a local Cumbrian lass, also catches his eye.听听
Alice has spent six months in India and is into meditation and yoga. She would make a perfect life partner for Bhatti!

But eligible bachelor Prem, travelling in the same group, has also taken a fancy to Alice... much to the dismay of Bhatti. And so begins a rivalry between the two men.
But soon Alice mysteriously disappears, leading to a full blown police听investigation.
The hunt for Alice takes the Cumbrian police to a remote part of Lake Windermere. Here, they find Alice's clothes, jewellery and even some blood-stains.
Bhatti and Prem are the chief suspects; they are arrested and a series of routine checks are made on them.
And that's when Bhatti's terrible secret is discovered - apparently he's a terrorist wanted by police worldwide. But is he really a a terrorist?
Gangster Abu Siddique has been in hiding for a long time, so the police decide to use Bhatti as a decoy; confident that the real Abu will surface as a result.
This creates a hilarious comedy of errors, ending with heroic Bhatti helping to prevent a huge catastrophe, with the aid of the tourist group - and getting the real Abu Siddique caught as a result.
Mr Bhatti on Chutti (meaning Mr Bhatti on Holiday) is an all-out comic caper, Mr Bean style, filmed on location in the Lake District.
Anupam Kher, who appeared in films like Bend it Like Beckam and Aap Ki Khatir (which was filmed in Shropshire), plays the lead character in Mr Bhatti on Chutti.
The movie sees a limited release in UK cinemas in May 2008.
