Apart from that, it is an essential market for Indian movies,” gulfnews.com quoted Shah Rukh Khan as saying. “Business-wise it makes sense to me and my partners to do the world premiere of Ra.One here,” he said. It is not just film premieres that are attracting Bollywood, producers are also looking to locations in UAE for shooting their films. “I have shot a part of all my movies here. And I think it's one of the world's most film-friendly countries,” said Sohail Khan, who has produced some of his brother Salman Khan’s movies.
