In a bid to promote Nepal’s tourism campaign Visit Nepal Year (VNY) 2020, the VNY Campaign Secretariat announced that it plans to organize at least one Bollywood program in Kathmandu.

According to VNY 2020 National Coordinator Suraj Vaidya, the VNY team will be visiting Mumbai to discuss the possibility of conducting a cinema-themed program in Nepal to promote the Himalayan nation through it.

Earlier, the Nepal Government had wanted to conduct the IIFA Awards 2019 in the country. However, due to persistent protests and heavy criticism, the government withdrew its decision.

Vaidya said that there was immense potential to promote Nepal through cinema and VNY would take up this responsibility.
