Australia’s cricket superstar Brett Lee will showcase Sydney and its attractions to Australian and Indian travellers with the release of a new film, unINDIAN, a romantic comedy filmed exclusively in Sydney, premiering in the Harbour City this week.

unINDIAN explores the complexities of a relationship between Aussie bloke Will, played by Lee, and beautiful Indian divorcee and single mother Meera, played by Indian actress Tannishtha Chatterjee.

Their romance unfolds at more than 20 locations across Sydney including the iconic Harbour, and the city's Indian food capital, Harris Park.

The film also features Destination NSW's Indian tourism campaign, Jhappi Time, the first campaign from an Australian tourism organisation specifically aimed at Indians visiting friends and family.

Lee said unINDIAN is both a love letter to Sydney, and a love story in itself.

Destination NSW CEO Sandra Chipchase, said the collaboration with Bollywood director Anupam Sharma made sense – “with Sydney not only the perfect film set, but a setting for a romantic holiday”.
