The meeting comes weeks after the prime minister met Bollywood producers and discussed issues faced by the industry.

New Delhi/Mumbai: Major Bollywood stars such as Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan landed in the capital city Thursday for a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The meeting comes weeks after the PM met Bollywood producers and discussed issues faced by the industry, which led to the reduction in GST on film tickets by the government.

“There is a meeting happening with PM today with people from the film industry, including actors,” sources close to the development told PTI.

The insider, however, did not disclose the agenda of the meeting.

The delegation, which is a mix of directors and actors, has been organised by filmmaker Karan Johar, the source added.

The line-up from Bollywood also includes directors Rohit Shetty and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, producers Ekta Kapoor and Mahaveer Jain, actors Rajkummar Rao, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar and Sidharth Malhotra.

After the 19 December meeting with PM drew flak on social media for not having any female representation on the panel, inclusion of names such as Alia and Bhumi is a step up.

Actors-producers Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, Sidharth Roy Kapur, Ritesh Sidhwani and others were censured by internet users for not including any women in the panel.-PTI

  1. The agenda of the meeting wasn’t disclosed, apparently. I’m sure these film wallas will be roped in to campaign for the BJP, after Yogi ji has given such a poor account of himself in recent elections! This is called leaving no stone unturned.
