Vidya is the face of Victoria s Indian Film

She is working in a number of prestigious projects, she is doing an item number, she is being booked for award functions and stage performances and so on and so forth. The latest addition to this list is that she has been roped in as the brand ambassador of Victoria s Indian Film Festival to be held in Melbourne this year.It not only showcases the best of Indian cinema but also provides a platform for young, upcoming film makers through its short film competition. When I was in Melbourne, I was smitten by the city and its love for films and its multi-cultural spirit. I am sure the festival will contribute greatly to add to that spirit.

The festival complements a range of initiatives to develop ties between the Victorian and Indian film industries, including a Victoria India Co-production Initiative which will see ten Victorians travel to FICCI Frames in Mumbai in March, Louise Asher, minister for innovation, services and small business, said adding, The initiative will also support up to three Victorian companies to develop a feature film.
