The pact will enable the UK and Indian film-makers to work together to coproduce films that will be eligible for national status in both countries. As a result of the treaty, it is expected that 10 UK-Indian co-productions will be made within the first two years.

According to a release from the British Deputy High Commission here, "The treaty will also contribute significantly to the strengthening of the skills base in both India and the UK". Says the release quoting the British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr Creon Butler said, "The UK is seen as the world's number one market for Bollywood productions outside India. With the UKIndia film co-production agreement, the opportunities for Indo-British partnerships in the film industry are sure to increase". - Our Bureau
