”This trip has been a profound professional experience. For years we have had a keen interest in closer ties with India as it has one of the largest film industries in the world.
Studio AYMAC aspires that one day India and Latin America strengthen their cultural, social and artistic exchange through co-productions between countries. We want to encourage Indian producers to take advantage of the advantages that Colombia offers in terms of production services.
We are working to increase India’s presence in Latin American markets. Having had the opportunity to get to know India, above all because it is the largest industry and with the largest audience in the audiovisual world.
India is definitely from another world, multicultural, multilingual, artistic and religious, which makes it wonderful. I loved India. I thank God, my angels, the entire ICCR team headed by Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Azad Bhavan, Kamaljit Singh, Aslam Khan, Bhakti Sharma among many and also the Embassy of India in Colombia for the opportunity and hospitality.’’
