Georgian ambassador Vakhtang Jaoshvili
Some of my favourites are Shree 420 and Awara.
Among the new ones, I love Devdas,” said the ambassador, who can even recite dialogues from Devdas. Music and food brought the two cultures together, with Bollywood classics such as Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, Yeh Shaam Mastani and Mere Sapnon Ki Rani sharing the playlist with Georgian compositions, including Yellow Leaves and Tbiliso. An ardent Bollywood fan, the ambassador was familiar with every song on the evening’s playlist and even knew the films they featured in. “I love Indian cinema and have watched most Hindi classic movies, specifically Raj Kapoor’s movies. Given his love for Hindi cinema, it is understandable that Vakhtang is working towards promoting Georgia as a film shooting destination. He shared, “India is known for its film productions and whenever I get a chance I love visiting film studios, production houses, meet producers. With wonderful landscape, Georgia has a lot to offer for film shoots and we have been working to make the process of shooting convenient for filmmakers. ”
