Commending HKIFF for honoring Guru Dutt, Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed, in
a statement in Nevada (USA) today, urged India Government and large private conglomerates
of India to promote independent cinema. India was full of creative and excellent
filmmakers and they only needed an integrated effort in funding, encouragement,
marketing/promotion, exposure in global avenues, and organization of world-level
film festivals in India , Rajan Zed, who is chairperson of Indo-American Leadership
Confederation, added.
