Not only that but a huge fan base has grown in so many countries including the US and India and it is no surprise that the language is very similar. Many films have been shot in Turkey that is Bollywood scripted as well. With east meets west and the fusion of films connecting. More and More countries are adapting to different languages in different countries. Turkey is known to produce many films and attracting a different range of audiences from India, Pakistan, Spain, the US, Canada.
