Shah Rukh says he’ll turn Berlin into tourist magnet

Indian Bollywood hero Shah Rukh Khan, who is filming his latest action movie Don 2 in Berlin, predicted Friday that the film’s success would encourage millions of Indians to visit the German capital.

“You will have problems getting rid of all the Indians again,” Khan joked at a press conference.

“We are proud that we have discovered Berlin for Indians,” the Bollywood star said, adding the city could supplant Paris and London as favourite European destinations.

The action thriller, which also showcases Indian stars Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani, features famous Berlin landmarks – including a scene in which Khan appears to dive 125 metres from a building near Berlin’s TV tower
