The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), representing the Indian film industry's workers, technicians, artists, and professionals, has officially announced a complete boycott of Turkey for all film shoots and cultural collaborations.
This decision comes in response to Turkey's continued support for Pakistan during the India-Pakistan conflict, which has led to serious concerns about national security and the safety of Indian citizens. In a recent tragic incident in Pahalgam, Pakistani terrorists attacked innocent Indian citizens, causing significant loss of life and suffering. During the India-Pakistan conflict, Turkey openly supported Pakistan, providing military and diplomatic support against India's interests. Such actions have deeply hurt the sentiments of the Indian film industry and the general public, as per the press release shared on official X handle of AICWA.
