Muscat: "It was a dream coming true moment for me", said Sultan Ahmed Al Mahmodi, the 27-year-old Omani film producer who wrote a poem on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign after meeting him in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Sultan travelled to India as an official guest of the Indian government to submit his poem.
“It was a great moment. Officially, I was given only five minutes, but the meeting went up to 20 minutes. I never expected that. He has advised me to visit cultural places of India and know more about India,” Sultan told Times of Oman by phone from India.
Impressed with Modi’s Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign and other initiatives, the young Omani film producer has shot a four-minute ‘visual poem’, which will be part of a movie to be released soon.
The film is part of a movie produced by Vijesh Mani, an Indian expatriate in Muscat.
The movie is inspired by ‘Mann Ki Baat’, a radio programme in which Modi addresses his country’s people.
Meanwhile, Vijesh Mani, the director of the movie, said that even though they were looking forward to meeting the Indian PM to present the poem, they didn’t think that it would happen this fast.
The movie is planned to be dubbed in 18 Indian languages
