Even
before
the
hangover
of
a
spectacular
Videocon
IIFA
Weekend
2010
subsides,
it
seems
like
the
host
country,
Sri
Lanka,
has
already
begun
reaping
the
benefits
of
playing
host
to
IIFA's
magnificent
11th
edition.
Recognizing
the
gorgeousness
of
the
island
nation,
and
the
welcoming
warmth
received
by
the
Indian
Film
Fraternity
during
another
magical
IIFA
weekend,
Anees
Bazmee's
new
film
Ready,
produced
by
T-Series
and
starring
Salman
Khan
and
Asin
Thottumkal
in
lead
roles,
will
now
be
filmed
in
Sri
Lanka,
beginning
20th
June,
2010.
The
movie's
location
for
shooting
was
originally
scheduled
to
be
Mauritius,
but
after
enjoying
a
beautiful
locale
like
Colombo
during
the
Videocon
IIFA
Weekend,
there
was
much
enthusiasm
to
change
the
location
to
Sri
Lanka
It
may
be
recalled
that
in
the
absence
of
the
Bachchan
parivar
and
Shahrukh
Khan
at
the
recently
held
IIFA
weekend
in
Colombo,
it
was
none
other
than
Salman
Khan
who
was
the
main
attraction
at
this
extravaganza.
The
actor,
who
played
a
key
role
in
the
IIFA
Hands
for
Humanity
Project,
as
the
Brand
Ambassador
for
Charity,
thoroughly
appreciated
the
kindness
and
generosity
of
the
Sri
Lankans
and
claims
to
be
thrilled
about
returning
to
the
neighbouring
island.
Sri
Lanka
is
undoubtedly
excited
to
welcome
the
whole
cast
of
Ready.
It
seems
like
the
exuberant
aura
of
Sri
Lanka,
that
received
global
recognition
at
the
Videocon
IIFA
Weekend
will
prove
to
be
a
big
plus
for
this
host
country
in
the
days
to
come.
