A bizarre scene greeted those out for a walk on a Hampshire beach at the weekend as a couple of camels paid a visit.

The animals stole the show – along with a donkey and 100 film extras – on Weston Shore as they were brought in by a Bollywood film crew who were shooting scenes in the city.

After visiting Ocean Village earlier in the week, film star Arshad Wasi was back, this time to use the waterfront for scenes in the film Welcome to Karachi.

Film crews also had sniffer dogs and a bus on the shore set as they attempted to recreate a beach which is based in the Pakistani city. 

Stunt doubles were working with Arshad and the camels to tell the story of a group of people who, after attending a boat party, find themselves washed up on shore and stranded, struggling to find their way home. 

A spokesperson on set said: “It’s an amazing set with lots of colours and sounds, we are really trying to create a small piece of Karachi in Southampton and have been amazed by the Asian community here who have come out to support us.”
