Korean Tourism Board (KTB) has tied up with bollywood producer Sajid Nadiadwala to promote the scenic beauty of the country in the forthcoming movie 'Kick' starring Salman Khan & Sonakshi Sinha.

Recently, Nadiadwala received an invite from the president of the Korean Tourism Organisation (KTO) to visit the country. After his trip, he signed the agreement to set scenes of his films in the country.

Nadiadwala’s team visited the country in September and met with the Korean ministers to discuss the possibility of a tie-up between his company, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment (NGE) and the KTB. “It’s a huge achievement for NGE and I’m really honoured to be associated with the KTO. We’ve explored some really good places in Korea like Seoul, Busan and Jeju Island. It’s a very beautiful country.”

Besides, Seoul, Jeju Island and Busan, Kick, the action adventure directed by Shirish Kunder is likely to feature some scenes in the picturesque Gangwon Do too.

Apparently, Salman will shoot some breathtaking action sequences in the wild outdoors of the East Asian country. The actor is supposed to start training in martial arts with famous French stunt director, Philip Guegan for the same. The Korean government is expected to offer assistance too, as far as martial arts experts and stunt artistes are concerned.
