The city has just played host to its first Bollywood production, and plans are underway to encourage more Indian production companies into the region.
India-based Aim Productions spent two days filming at the Manchester United football ground for the Bollywood feature film, Goal, due for release later this year.
North West Vision (NWV), the regional film, TV and digital media development agency, hopes that Goal will be the first of many more Bollywood productions to come to the region.

"We're hopeful this film signals the start of a whole new production base for the Northwest," says Alice Morrison, Chief Executive of NWV.
"We have so much to offer the Bollywood market, which is why we're sending one of our Film Officers to Frames, the hugely important Mumbai trade festival."
Film Officer, Alan Saywell, will travel to India on March 26, with the intention of attracting Bollywood talent.
