Ungboeva was accompanied by renowned film directors from Uzbekistan Khilal Nasimov and Lazizbk Temirov; and Producer Atabek Khodjiev.

Khodjiev extended an invitation for Indian film-makers to visit Uzbekistan’s film institute and to enter into collaboration for film-shooting in their country. “We want the India – Uzbekistan friendship to stay as strong as forever”.

“We want the India-Uzbekistan friendship to stay as strong as forever,” he said.

“We have invited Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandana to showcase their films in the next edition of the festival and they have agreed to it,” she added.

Uzbek director Khilal Nasimov claimed that Bollywood movies and Hindi movie songs are particularly well-liked in his nation.

“We grew up listening to Indian music and watching Indian movies, including by Raj Kapoor, Hema Malini and Shah Rukh Khan, to name a few. We love them all. They are a super-emotional part of our lives,” he added.

This year’s XIV Tashkent International Film Festival saw the participation of an Indian film delegation led by NFDC MD Ravinder Bhakar, during which agreements for coproduction and partnership with Uzbekistan were signed. (India News Network)
