Salman Khan set to create record in Sri Lanka

Actor Salman Khan is set to create history in Sri Lanka by becoming the first actor to shoot a Bollywood film post the ethnic war in Sri Lanka. The actor is in talks with the Sri Lankan government for permissions.

He wants to do an entire shoot in Lanka and also open the sets for people to enjoy how a masala Bollywood film is made.

“I’m definitely going to do a film in Sri Lanka. Any effort that only
reflects that the country is back to normalcy should be probed. I will talk to the President (Sri Lankan prez Mahinda Rajapakse) about this entire initiative and I hope to shoot as early as possible. I will do a full-on Bollywood film. It’s one of the best cultural exports of India and it could bring the two nations more closer,” Salman, who is also the Habitat for Humanity ambassador in Sri Lanka, told DNA.

The actor adds, “I will open my sets to everyone in Sri Lanka to come and have a look at how a Bollywood film is made. It is really exciting to see how they love us and I feel very humble. They know everything about Bollywood — the film and the stars. They also know about our personal lives. I feel Sri Lanka and India should do many joint ventures like the one I have in mind.”
