Kanz Jewels, a leading jewellery brand in the UAE, played host to the blockbuster Bollywood movie ‘Welcome Back’ as the movie was shot extensively at the store in Dubai Gold Souk, Deira, UAE.

This was the first Bollywood movie to be shot at Dubai Gold Souq, according to Kanz Jewels.

Bollywood artists Anil Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia charmed the crowd at the Kanz store and interacted with them post the shoot.

‘Welcome Back’ is an upcoming Bollywood comedy movie directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala. It is a sequel to the 2007 comedy Welcome and features an ensemble cast that includes Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor  re-enacting their roles respectively from the prequel, along with Paresh Rawal.

John Abraham and Shruti Haasan are the new additions to the cast. The film is expected to be released in May next year.

The movies production team had done a survey in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and they wanted to identify a jewellery story that has the luxurious ambience as required by the movie’s script. Kanz store was selected as its personality perfectly blended with the movie’s requirement, said the statement.

Anil Dhanak, managing director, said: “We are delighted to have Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Anees Bazmee and the crew among our midst and are proud to be associated with the movie ‘Welcome Back’ as it is the first Bollywood movie to be shot at the Dubai Gold Souq, Deira.

“Several celebrities have visited our store in the past but this was the first time we shot a scene at the store.  It was a great experience for us.” - TradeArabia News Service
