India, UK to speed up film co-productions

MUMBAI: India is to sign a document under the film co-production agreement with the United Kingdom. This will enable the Indian and UK film industries to co-produce films.

The union cabinet has given its approval to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for signing the Annex (rules of procedure) to the film co-production agreement signed with the government of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in this regard.

The agreement would encourage the making of films reflecting the diversity of culture and heritage of both the countries and benefit both co-producers.
