Speaking about his experience of shooting in the country and its burgeoning film industry, SRK said he felt encouraged by the will of local industry to build and grow. "Whenever you have a country that starts shooting and they are not used to making films, you have some teething problems, so I went back to the Ministry and we spoke to them once on the phone and they were so kind," said Khan. "I think the nicest part is that they want to do it. When you are trying to make films, I think half the battle is won if you just want to do it."(Image: Getty Images)
