WAVES Summit: Saif Ali Khan calls for Indian Cinema to reach the next level

The ‘Nawab of Bollywood’ Saif Ali Khan graced the day 1 of the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) summit, a one-of-a-kind platform to explore the depths of Indian cinema and entertainment across the country, and its growing potential on a global level.

At the event, Saif Ali Khan shared his views about the event and also expressed how it is a prominent space for broader opportunities that connects creators and collaborators to take entertainment to the next level.

Speaking about the same, Saif said, “I think it’s a fantastic platform and a wonderful initiative by the Prime Minister, by the IB Ministry (Information and Broadcasting), FICCI, and everybody involved. And I am very excited - the thing is connectivity, to connect not only internationally but even our country. To connect the dots between North and South, and if we connect together, we have so many wonderful stories to tell. We have the best stories in the world to tell. Our film industry is so popular internationally, and we have much love. And I would like to see it go to the next level, and this is a wonderful platform for that.”

Also talking about creative collaborations, Saif said, “It’s about collaborations and it’s also about giving opportunities inside our country because there is so much untapped talent and that’s the most exciting thing. I think this is a one-of-its-kind Summit, so we’re all very excited to see what happens. It’s full of potential because there are wonderful stories in animation, video games - anyway India has been doing that for other people before and winning awards. I think if we did it for ourselves, it would be wonderful.”

Along with Saif Ali Khan, the summit witnessed the presence of several celebrities across India and other content creators. Given the event’s scale and his rich showbiz experience, Saif’s entertainment views are likely to leave a lasting impression.

On the professional front, Saif Ali Khan was recently seen in Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins, a heist film released on Netflix. He is gearing up for Race 4 and may also feature in Kartavya, Click Shankar, Devara: Part 2 and Shootout at Byculla.
