He added, “We got the opportunity and we could discuss it with him. He also said whatever you need you all can come and get that. I was impressed by his knowledge and awareness about the minute details of the industry… of the possibilities of what we can do. He called it (film industry) a soft power. He has a big vision for the industry. He was appreciating our work. It was a wonderful experience. As always, the Prime Minister was very inspiring.”
