Among the most recent Indian films to be shot in Italy is the Prabhas and Pooja Hegde-starrer Radhe Shyam (2022), that was shot in Piedmont  

Recently, the Embassy of Italy organised Italian Screens, a three-day film festival in several Indian metros, to present the best of Italian cinema to the country. The initiative was part “of a wider project of deepening cultural relations between Italy and India, to ensure a rapprochement with Bollywood and to stimulate meeting opportunities between producers, distributors and creatives of both countries”.
