“There has been an interest among Indians to visit Iceland after the picturization of the song Gerua from the movie Dilwale in Iceland. The locales of Iceland were beautifully captured in that song which has caught the attention of tourists in India. We want to leverage on this interest and increase the number of tourist arrivals from India. We would also like to invite more Bollywood movies to come and shoot in Iceland,” reports quoted the Ambassador of Iceland to India, Thorir Ibsen, as saying.

Iceland recently conducted road shows in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore to woo Indian travellers.
