Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain made a visit to the esteemed film production company Yash Raj Films (YRF) in Mumbai. Established in 1970 by the iconic filmmaker Yash Chopra, YRF has grown to become one of the largest film studios in India, with leadership now in the hands of his son, Aditya Chopra, since 2012. The studio is primarily recognized for its production and distribution of Hindi films and boasts a robust distribution network that spans major Indian cities as well as international markets, including the UK, USA, and UAE.
During his visit, Sanchez engaged in discussions with YRF’s CEO, Akshaye Widhani, focusing on the studio’s impressive 50-year history and the anticipated expansion of India’s film industry in the coming five years. Widhani remarked on the significance of the visit, stating, “Spain has been incredibly supportive of us over the years, and we were very proud to have the President visit our studios.” Prior to this engagement, Sanchez and his wife, Begona Gomez, participated in Diwali festivities in Mumbai.
