"I have visited Oman couple of times; I have a cousin living there. I love the country, quiet and peaceful, am absolutely thrilled to come to Oman for the `Agent Vinod` premiere. In fact, I am coming with some friends and am looking forward to the trip," the 41-year-old added. The movie was shot in Morocco, Sri Lanka and Latvia among other countries and will hit the Indian theaters on March 23. "This movie`s entry is ground-breaking as far as the nascent cinema industry in Oman is concerned. For Oman, it is the first ever movie premiere and it will be great to have movie stars like Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in town for the MIFF," said MIFF Chairman, Dr Khalid Al Zadjali, who made Oman`s first ever feature film `Boom`.
