Actor Vindu Dara Singh added that the effort behind the expo was to bring the industry’s concerns to the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“So our attempt was to reach Modiji’s ears with our troubles. We all love him very much, and when he sees a problem, like the NEET problem, now Modiji understands the NEET problem and he will solve it. I promise you, such a problem will never happen again in life,” he told ANI.
Singh acknowledged that reaching the Prime Minister with every issue was difficult given the scale of challenges facing the country.
“It’s very hard to reach him because there are crores of problems in the country. So, the film industry’s problem, I wanted to convey that,” he said.
He also said the expo’s aim was to encourage governments across the country to extend support to filmmakers and production houses.
“And we called every minister, called all the states. We want all the states in India to support the film industry. Wherever they go for shooting, they should give something,” Singh said.
Praising Haryana’s initiative, he added, “So Haryana is giving, and Haryana has won our hearts. Others also, from Delhi, we’ve told everyone to make it better.”
Singh said greater government support and subsidies for the industry could translate into more employment opportunities.
“The more you support the film industry, the more subsidy you give, the more employment people will get. There are crores of people working in the film industry,” he said. (ANI)
