"This treaty will surely motivate many Indian producers to shoot in London. In the last six months many filmmakers have gone there. Under the pact, we have to take the star cast only with us and rest of the support will be provided by the UK government. Its a great idea to build a long-term relationship between two great countries," says legendary filmmaker K C Bokadia.

Indian and British filmmakers are expected to co- produce 10 new movies over the next two years as a bilateral film treaty providing jobs, entertainment and cultural benefits to two of the world's largest cinema-going nations.

Vipul Shah, whose film 'London Dreams' is the first one such film made under the treaty, says now more films will be made in London for the Indian market.

"There is already huge interest in Indian films in the UK and it is growing. Record numbers of Bollywood films have been released in the UK over the last few years. Working with crews in their own cities is a great thing. They know the systems, how the shoots function in that particular city, how to get permissions, how to move things. It's always very important," says Shah, whose last film 'Namaste London' was shot in UK.
