In an extraordinary move, the Prime Minister himself extended a personal invitation to these distinguished talents, urging them to consider New Zealand as a premier destination for Indian filmmaking.

The Prime Minister of New Zealand RH Christopher Luxon shared the pictures on social media, and wrote,

“The film scene brings money into our economy which creates jobs and grows incomes – and I want to see more of that.
So it was great to catch up with a few Bollywood stars to get their thoughts on what more we can do!”

While international delegations typically handle such invitations, PM Luxon’s direct involvement underscores the immense respect and admiration for Indian cinema on a global scale.

The presence of the industry stalwarts in this dialogue signals a potential shift in Indo-New Zealand film relations, setting the stage for breath-taking storytelling against the stunning landscapes of New Zealand.

With prominent names like Aamir Khan, Vidya Balan, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Ronnie Screwvala, and Ashutosh Gowariker at the helm of these discussions, the possibility of epic narratives unfolding against New Zealand’s breath-taking locales seems closer than ever.
