In a bold move reflecting growing geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has declared a complete boycott of Indian film shoots in Turkey and Azerbaijan. The directive, which applies to all members of the Indian film industry, aims to halt all professional collaboration with these countries. This comes after the two countries expressed support to Pakistan amid tension with India. 

`Turkey was hot location for Indian films`

Speaking exclusively to Mid-day, FWICE Chief Advisor Ashoke Pandit elaborated on the impact of the decision, especially on Turkey, which had become a hotspot for Indian film shoots.
