"Things are wonderful in India and as I said earlier I feel very welcomed to be here and it's a very warm feeling, feeling a family. And I even brought my family because I think everyone wants to come to India, except that you wait for the special invitation, you wait for a special opportunity and I just feel that finally I have this chance to be here and it's very exciting.”

The Hollywood star added he felt an affinity with India's huge Bollywood film industry.
