United Kingdom’s (UK) Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Yash Raj Films (YRF) Studio in Mumbai on Wednesday, where he was greeted by the production house’s CEO Akshaye Widhani and Rani Mukerji.
In photos shared by various portals, UK PM Keir can be seen being hosted by Rani, actor and wife of YRF head Aditya Chopra, who is dressed in a yellow, floral, salwar kameez. In pictures they are sharing a laugh in the backdrop of a wall of photo frames showcasing YRF’s films. Akshaye, Rani and Keir can also be seen attending a screening.
Keir, who flew in from London earlier in the day, drove to the YRF Studios amid heavy police security.
His visit to the facility is seen as a step toward fostering creative partnerships, including potential joint film projects and cultural exchange programmes. Security arrangements were increased in key locations in the vicinity of the facility ahead of the UK Prime Minister's visit.
Keir’s visit marks a significant milestone in India-UK diplomatic and cultural relations, combining film, sport, and commerce under a single strategic agenda.
