New Delhi, July 27: Abhishek Bachchan and former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev will raise the Indian flag during the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in 2022 (IFFM). The action will commemorate the 75th Independence Day. They were both invited as special guests.
IFFM 2022 is returning after a two-year hiatus as a result of the recent coronavirus outbreak. One of the prominent attendees of IFFM, Abhishek Bachchan, expressed his gratitude for the invitation to take part in the event.
“It gives me great honour to be a part of the 75th year celebrations of Indian Independence in Melbourne. It’s a matter of pride for me to hoist the Indian National Flag in the iconic Federation Square. It’s an event where Indians from all across Australia, from all different backgrounds, will come together to celebrate India at 75. This is a mark of the friendship between Australia and India,” he said.
“To share this platform with Kapil sir is momentous for me and the event is also a mark of the coming together of cinema and cricket, two things that have often united us Indians together. Looking forward to celebrating India, Indians and the spirit of our country amongst hundreds of people who will be in attendance to celebrate this landmark moment and event,” he added.
