On his first official visit to India, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited the legendary Yash Raj Films (YRF) Studio in Mumbai, one of Bollywood’s most iconic film production houses.
The visit aimed to strengthen cultural relations and promote creative partnerships between the UK and India’s film industries. Starmer was warmly welcomed by Bollywood star Rani Mukerji, who is closely associated with the YRF banner.
Pictures from the meeting quickly went viral on social media, showing Starmer interacting with Mukerji and the YRF team. The visit reflects a growing interest in deepening collaboration between the two nations in the fields of cinema, art, and digital entertainment.
Yash Raj Films, founded by Yash Chopra, has long been a symbol of Indian cinematic excellence, producing films that have reached audiences across the world. The visit by the British Prime Minister also underscores Bollywood’s influence as a bridge of cultural diplomacy between India and the UK.
