It is this extraordinary location that has also caught the attention of many film producers around the world and Bernard Tours is proud to have been associated with many Hollywood and Bollywood films produced in Sri Lanka such as “Common Man” starring Sir John Bentley and “READY” starring Salman Khan, to name a few.
