I would like to thank the Consul Kartikey Johri for inviting me and my team for such an amazing event,” said Rajkumar Hirani.

To consolidate the presence of Rajkumar Hirani in Wroclaw, Poland, a co-operation’s agreement was signed, the contracting parties being City Officials from Wroclaw City, Honorary Consul Kartikey Johri and Rajkumar Hirani. The mutual cooperation applies to future movie production of Rajkumar Hirani in Poland. "Wroclaw, Poland is enormous city with a lot of potential and great infrastructure for new movie productions. In addition to that, my duty as a Consul is to support and build a stronger bridge between Poland and India. I'm sure that, this agreement will help the bridge to become stronger", said Kartikey Johri, Honorary Consul of India in Wroclaw.

The city officials added more, "We feel rewarded that such a great movie director as Rajkumar Hirani has chosen Poland for further cooperations. He will always be welcomed in Wroclaw and we will strongly support his movie production in Poland".
