While I'm excited about the stars attending, I hope this summit actually delivers concrete benefits for smaller creators too. The industry needs more than just big names - regional filmmakers and independent artists deserve platforms too. Fingers crossed! 🤞

The government spending crores on this while FTII and other film institutes struggle for funds seems contradictory. Hope they announce some concrete educational initiatives too, not just glitz and glamour. Our film students deserve better infrastructure.

Alia-Ranbir looking gorgeous as always! 😍 But beyond the star power, the business opportunities mentioned sound promising. If this helps Indian content reach global audiences and brings investment, it's a win for our soft power.

Chiranjeevi garu representing Telugu cinema makes me so proud! Hope regional cinema gets equal importance at this summit. Our southern industries contribute so much to Indian cinema's global reputation.
