Shah Rukh Khan Hosts Dinner For Ali Rustam In Mumbai

Bollywood heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan hosted Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam to a special dinner at his residence in posh Banjara Hills in Mumbai on Monday.

"I attended a dinner at his house. He served the best Indian cuisine including briyani and thosai.

"I must say Malaysian (food) tastes 20 per cent less good than original Indian food. He also agreed to do one or two shoots for his new movie Happy New Year in Melaka later this year," Mohd Ali told Bernama during a brief visit to Hyderabad.

He said they also discussed establishing a film studio in Melaka to develop talents for the Malaysian movie industry.

"He (Khan) has a lot of experience in acting and movie production. He has given us his blessings, I hope he can give lectures and share his knowledge with us," added Mohd Rustam.

Two of Khan's movies, "One Two Ka Four" and "Don" were shot in the historical Melaka state.

Last November, the Melaka state government awarded him the title "Datuk" for promoting Melaka through his movies.
