Thanks Shivendra Singh Dungarpur for having me over." Mr Dungarpur, founder of Film Heritage Foundation, has organised a three-day seminar where Christopher Nolan talked about the importance of traditional way of filmmaking in the digital age.

Apologised for seeing Dunkirk in the digital format and in return am sending Hey Ram in digital format for him to see. Was surprised to know he had seen Paapanaasam."
"With their visit, along with the participation of some of the who's who of our Indian film industry, hopefully, the talk and encouragement of shooting and projecting film in celluloid will start," Mr Dungarpur earlier told news agency IANS.
