4 UK Venues in Bollywood Films

Blenheim Palace
Screen legend Shah Rukh Khan stars in Fan, playing double roles as both a superstar and his obsessed fan. Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire was the perfect backdrop for the chase scene, where fan SRK runs from police after attempting to gatecrash an event at the Palace.While it's fairly unlikely you'll have anyone gatecrashing your Big Day (well, fingers crossed), the baroque venue offers is a setting of cinematic proportions, from the meticulously restored rooms to 90 acres of formal gardens. The South Lawn Marquees welcomes 2000 for dinner, drinks and dancing in the evening.• www.BlenheimPalace.com

Syon Park
If you loved the ‘Saans’ in Jab Tak Hai Jaan you’ll recognise Syon House’s gorgeous conservatory. The film was veteran director Yash Chopra’s last, thereby sealing it to cult status. It’s also a jaw-dropping wedding venue with a 200-acre park in Isleworth, Middlesex.
