"We are looking forward to seeing how one of the world's biggest film industries works, notably to cooperating with Yash Raj Films (YRF), a company known for high production standards," the Croatian Audio-Visual Centre (HAVC) quoted Boris Dmitrovic of the Formula Film production company as saying.
More than 600 extras have been hired for the nine days of filming in Croatia, during which YRF plans to spend 8.6 million kuna. The company will get HRK 1.7 million in the form of film incentives.
YRF executive producer Aashish Singh said the film incentives were one of the reasons Croatia had been chosen as a location.
The famous actor, model, TV host and producer Shah Rukh Khan has already praised Dubrovnik's beauty on his Facebook profile, which is followed by around 13.5 million people.
