MUMBAI:
The film industries of Bangladesh and West Bengal have come together
in their zeal for mutual cooperation for co-production and exhibition
of Bengali movies.
In
the presence of Bangladesh information minister Hasanul Hoque Inu,
members of the two film industries announced that a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) would be signed by them in the next few days.
"We
have always felt that the film industries at both places have been
kept divided. If we can unite the two industries as one, then the
resultant market would be a huge one," said Bengali actor-producer
Prosenjit Chatterjee.
The
West Bengal film industry has proposed to release all current
Bengali films produced this year in Bangladesh. They also want
to join hands in creating and developing cinema halls together
on both sides of the border. Besides exhibition, the MoU will
also harp on increasing joint venture production of films.
"Our
final target is to ensure that Bengali films get releases in both
places on the same day," Prosenjit said.
