The United Kingdom PM's visit is reportedly aimed at strengthening cultural ties and promoting collaboration between the British and Indian film industries.

“The official meeting between the UK PM and Indian producers was a fruitful discussion about making movies together,” news agency PTI reported, citing sources.

The UK PM met Yash Raj Films CEO Akshaye Widhani, and Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji, wife of the YRF chairperson Aditya Chopra.

His visit to the facility is seen as a step toward fostering creative partnerships, including potential joint film projects and cultural exchange programmes.

Security arrangements were enhanced in key locations near the facility ahead of the UK Prime Minister's visit.

Starmer's visit marks a significant milestone in India-UK diplomatic and cultural relations, combining film, sport, and commerce under a single strategic agenda.
