MUMBAI: Sri Lanka, the venue of this year‘s 11th edition of IIFA, seams to be reaping the benefits of playing host to the grand event.

Ready, produced by T-Series and starring Salman Khan and Asin, was originally scheduled to be shot in Mauritius. But after the Videocon IIFA Weekend, there was much enthusiasm to change locations to Sri Lanka.

Khan is said to have played a key role in changing the location to Sri Lanka, which he praised for its kindness and generosity, as the film starts shooting in that country from 20 June.

.Sri Lankans are undoubtedly excited to welcome the entire cast of Ready.
