Oman - the best kept secret of the Middle East will soon be visible to Indian audiences in the sequel of ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbai’ in the song Yeh Tune Kya Kiya, which is already topping the charts. A part of the film was shot in Oman including the capital city Muscat. In its effort to popularize Oman as a leisure destination to the premium Indian travellers, Ministry of Tourism - Oman associated itself with Balaji’s forthcoming multi-starrer.

Sonakshi who visited Oman during the shoot of the film said, Oman fits beautifully into this film as it can be moulded to look like the period in which the film is set. It’s very opulent, rich and relatable. It’s a beautiful place and I really had a good time when I was there.

Tanuj Garg, CEO - Balaji Motion Pictures, said, We’ve shot a part of the film in Oman. We hope that through the marketing and branding association with us, this beautiful, scenic country can create an awareness and buzz.
