Indian Film Bodies Call for Boycott of Turkey as Shooting Location Following Pahalgam Attack and Turkey's Anti-India Stance

-
In a strong show of solidarity and condemnation, two prominent Indian film bodies, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), have issued a directive calling for a complete boycott of Turkey as a preferred destination for film shootings. This decision comes in the wake of the recent tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, and Turkey's increasingly anti-India stance on various international platforms.

The AICWA and FWICE, representing a significant workforce within the Indian film industry, have expressed deep anguish over the loss of innocent lives in the Pahalgam terror attack. In their official statements released earlier today, both organizations conveyed their condolences to the bereaved families and strongly condemned the act of violence.

Furthermore, the film bodies highlighted their growing concern regarding what they perceive as Turkey's consistent anti-India rhetoric and actions on international forums. They believe that utilizing Turkey as a shooting location for Indian films would be insensitive to the nation's sentiments and could inadvertently lend support to a country whose political stance is seen as unfavorable to India.

In a joint statement, representatives from AICWA and FWICE stated, "In light of the recent barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam and the consistent anti-India stance adopted by Turkey on various international platforms, we, the All Indian Cine Workers Association and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, have collectively decided to call for a complete boycott of Turkey as a location for film shootings."

The statement further emphasized the importance of prioritizing national interest and solidarity in such sensitive times. "Our nation's security and the sentiments of our people are paramount. We cannot, in good conscience, continue to patronize a country that appears to be aligning itself against our interests. We urge all filmmakers and production houses to refrain from choosing Turkey as a destination for their upcoming projects."

This call for a boycott is likely to have significant implications for Indian filmmakers who may have previously considered Turkey for its scenic locations, historical sites, and relatively cost-effective production facilities. The decision underscores the growing sentiment within the Indian film industry to align with nationalistic values and respond strongly to perceived threats and unfavorable international relations.

It remains to be seen how widely this call for a boycott will be adopted by the larger Indian film fraternity. However, the collective voice of AICWA and FWICE carries considerable weight and could potentially influence future location choices for Bollywood and other regional film productions.

MET Gala News:
This development adds another layer to the ongoing tensions in the region and highlights the interconnectedness of geopolitical events and the entertainment industry. As the situation unfolds, it will be crucial to observe the response from filmmakers and production houses and assess the long-term impact of this boycott on the landscape of Indian cinema.

As it happens with all families split over fortunes and women, the conflict over top banker and actor Bobby Deol’s father-in-law Dev Ahuja’s legacy has intensified after his death.
