Moscow is ready to cooperate with India in promoting Indian cinema on the Russian market; it is as popular in the Russian Federation as in any other BRICS country, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin is holding a meeting with heads of leading media outlets from the BRICS countries on Friday. Russia is represented at the event by Dmitry Kiselev, CEO of the Rossiya Segodnya media group. During the event, the President of the Russian Federation was asked whether Moscow was ready to encourage foreign filmmakers to work in the Russian market.
“If you look at all the BRICS countries, then, probably, in Russia Indian cinema is as popular as anywhere else, in any other BRICS country. We even have, in my opinion, a separate channel on television, which plays day and night Indian cinema. Therefore, we have a very big question of interest in Indian cinema,” Putin said.
The President of the Russian Federation expressed his readiness to talk with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kazan on the topic of promoting Indian cinema in the Russian Federation if he raises this issue. Putin noted that he does not see any difficulties in reaching an agreement here.
