Apparently, a NRI association in London has asked him to spare some time for the event.



According to a source, “The group wants to hold a special screening of his forthcoming action film for their friends and family in their hometown. Since Sir Ben Kingsley shares a Gujarati connection they want him to be available for the same.”

The knighted actor is yet to confirm his presence though. “Most probably, he will visit Gujarat since he has an amazing fan following in his hometown,” adds the source.u00a0
