Directed by Prakash Varma, the films will see Khan unravel the many secrets of Dubai, making the viewers look at the city from his perspective. "Dubai is a second home to me… Whether I am here (Dubai) on vacation with my family and friends or my many business trips here for shoots, it's a city that I truly relate to on so many levels – driven, passionate and spirited," he told the media.
Scheduled to be released on Dubai Tourism channels, the short films will kick-start a year-long campaign highlighting tourism in association with the Hindi film industry.
