Most Elvis movies are close to Bollywood ones so they should be a success.

Great news. There are a lot of fans living in Asia too. So Indian fans will be happy. When I was in that area I was surprised to observe how Elvis is even known in the smaller towns and villages! His fame is endless!

Elvis movies were very influential to the Bollywood scene in the 60's and 70's. Its why they loved them and still do. Amitabh Bachan paid a couple of tributes to him in his films in the 70's. Not everyone cared for Elvis to be winning oscars for every film, alot of asian fans just wanted him to win the girl. As a kid even I thought Elvis was indian! As I said elsewhere I was very happy to hear the king on BBC Asia radio in a local shop ... owned by Indians!!!

Perhaps they should use the turban footage as a lead in.
