High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Hari Hara Subra Viswanathan wants to strengthen ties between Bollywood and Nollywood, the 2nd and 3rd largest movie industries in the world, respectively. What do you think about that??

Specifically, he wants the potentials of the Indian and Nigerian film industries to be jointly exploited to boost the economic fortunes of both countries.

India's film industry, Bollywood, is the second largest in the world after United States of America's Hollywood. Nigeria's Nollywood is the third largest in the world.

"I will like the cultural co-operation between Nigeria and India to be expanded so that Nigerian musicians and artistes can go to Indian and Indian musicians can also come to Nigeria. I will like to see a joint production by Nigerian and Indian filmmakers. There is a great potential in the film industries," he said.
