Shah Rukh Khan: The Kingsize Welcome By New Zealand

Rt Hon John Key Greeting Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukherji

AUCKLAND: How often does it happen that the biggest film star of a country gets a grand welcome by the Prime Minister of another country? That's exactly what happened with Shah Rukh Khan who is currently in New Zealand.

The 'Chennai Express' actor is currently on tour for his Temptations Reloaded tour, and has been in Auckland over the past few days, practising hard for the performance.

Last evening, he was given a grand welcome by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, who also happens to be the Tourism Minister of the country.

The Prime Minister welcomed Shah Rukh Khan with a traditional Maori dance and then presented him with an official New Zealand Black Caps cricket team shirt. As is known, the Cricket World Cup in 2015 will be taking place in Australia and New Zealand.

Shah Rukh Khan also was interested in New Zealand as a filming location for his films ahead and John Key was excited about this development. Recently, films like 'I Hate Luv Storys' and 'Players' have been shot there.

The Temptations Reloaded show kicks off today with Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Rani Mukerji and Jacqueline Fernandez, among others giving company to Shah Rukh Khan.

Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive").
