Mumbai, Apr 7 (IBNS): Bollywood filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala who has made an immense and valuable contribution to the Indian film industry in his 30-year run through his cinema and the talent that he has introduced, is also getting valuable notices from overseas.

Sajid will be conferred with the Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et Lettres (Knight in the National Order Arts and Letterst) by the French Government.

This honorable recognition has been given to him due to his outstanding achievements as a producer and his commitment to constantly improving Indo-French relations.

The honour is slated to be conferred on Nadiadwala at a special ceremony that will take place in New Delhi in the coming weeks.

This is the second international honour for the filmmaker.

In 2013, the Italian territory of Puglia’s Official Tourist Board "Pugliapromozione," together with Apulia Film Commission dedicated a travel itinerary through the Puglia territory to him called the “Sajid Nadiadwala Housefull Itinerary in Puglia." The same starts in the north of Puglia in the beautiful headland of Gargano and ends in the sea scenario of Salento in the south, going through the green land of Trulli in the center of the region.
