Abu Dhabi and bollywood seem to have built a stronger connection recently as many movies are being shot in the picturesque locales.

But a bond that has got stronger is of the beauty Lara Dutta, who had not only shot for 'Partner' but is also currently shooting for her upcoming David Dhawan film 'Do Knot Disturb'. On contacting, she quipped, "This place is like a lucky mascot as my last release also had many portions shot here and it turned out to be a super-hit.

We have been shooting at the Emirates Palace hotel and you just got to see the hotel to believe how wonderful it is. It's a wonderful place, the people are very warm and it's quite a film-friendly place as well.

I guess with the amount of films being shot here, Abu Dhabi has become the new Switzerland."
