MUMBAI :Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan who celebrates his birthday today is all set to be seen in not one but three films.

The sources further added, “Saudi Arabia, in the days to come, will emerge as one of the top destinations for filming. The Ministry of Culture of Saudi Arabia has announced that it is giving a cash rebate of upto 40% on production spend in the country and has also assured full support to get licenses and approval as soon as possible to the filmmakers. Besides, the country has beautiful, unexplored locations which are sure to look great on the big screen. All these factors have tempted the film industry to shoot in Saudi Arabia.”
