THE trailer for a bollywood action film — part of which was filmed in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight earlier this year — has garnered more than 22 million views on Youtube.
And some 16 million of those came in the first 24 hours.
Entitled An Action Hero, and starring top Indian actor Ayushmann Khurrana, the film hits the big screen on December 2.
In the trailer, which dropped on Friday, keen-eyed viewers will no doubt recognise some familiar locations.
The flick was predominantly filmed in Ventnor, between January and February, and its teaser opens with a scene shot on Military Road.

Ventnor town centre was the unlikely location for some of the movie's stunts, which drew big crowds of onlookers during each day of filming over its two-week schedule.
Some of the fast cars used in filming featured in the Fast and Furious action franchise.
More than 300 local residents were on the payroll as supporting actors, with huge sums spent on the logistics.
The crew used Ventnor Winter Gardens as a base and also recorded stunt scenes along Cowleaze, Shanklin, and St Lawrence Undercliff.
