The director said that he was so impressed by the actor's enthusiasm for the country that he agreed to relocate straight away.
"The film was set to be shot in Mauritius, but when Salman expressed a keenness for the film to be located in Sri Lanka and promised that we'd be provided all facilities and amenities, we decided to go for it," Bazmee told Mid Day.
"We selected Sri Lanka because of Salman's enthusiasm for the place. He has created a huge rapport between Bollywood and Sri Lanka during his short visit there. At his recommendation, I airdashed to Colombo this week. He told me it would be an ideal location for us. And he was right."
He added: "We leave for Sri Lanka on June 18 for a 40-day schedule. We're shooting in two luxury resorts."
