Expressing his gratitude to governance of Victoria, Australia, Bachchan further wrote, "Thank you, the Governance of Victoria for this gesture, fructifying the bonds that exist between our two nations and lending unstinted support to our film industry in conducting such events to acquaint the locals with our cinema."
