I must say that this is what we should look forward to.
India’s acting High Commissioner in Nigeria,
Kaisar Alam, on Sunday said the commission
would facilitate collaboration between
Nollywood and Bollywood, the Nigeria’s and
India’s movie industries, respectively.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Abuja that the two countries’ film industries
had a lot to contribute to their Gross
Domestic Product (GDP).
Alam said stakeholders in the film industries
from Bollywood and Nollywood could partner
or exchange programmes that would yield
mutual benefits and promote better
understanding between the two countries.
According to him, India is the second largest
producer of films in the world, next only to
Hollywood.
“Indian films are very popular in several
countries like Russia, China, Indonesia; and
even in Nigeria.
“India can use its more than 100 years of
experience in Bollywood to assist Nigeria if
the people in the industry can communicate
exactly what they need to us.
“The people in the industry have to come
forward to tell us exactly where they need
assistance and in what form.
“The film industry contributes significantly to
the GDP of India. I understand that
Nollywood also contributes significantly to
the GDP of Nigeria,’’ he said.
He said collaboration between Nigeria and
India in the movie industries will boost both
country’s economies.
