Akshaye told the esteemed gathering, “With great honour and gratitude we extend our heartfelt thanks to the esteemed Government of Switzerland for this recognition – the Swiss Excellence Award to YRF. The legendary Yash Chopra, a visionary film-maker whose creative prowess transcended boundaries, became synonymous to Switzerland through the cinematic masterpieces that he created in his lifetime.”
YRF has shot about 14 movies in Switzerland – from DDLJ, Dhoom 3, Veer Zara, Dil To Pagal Hai, Chandni, Darr (to name a few).
Akshaye adds, “These films not only captivated audiences worldwide but also served as an instrumental force in fostering a deep bond between India and Switzerland.

I know this partnership will strengthen every year, fostering a legacy of cultural exchange for generations to come!”
