Woah! It’s a French Honor for Sajid Nadiadwala

Filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala is over the moon as he has been conferred with the French Honor. France’s prestigious Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) award was honoured to him on Tuesday. It’s a huge achievement for the filmmaker who cannot stop smiling as the honour is conferred on a person who has immense creative talent in the field of art, culture and literature.

The honour was conferred on him by French Ambassador to India Alexandre Ziegler as a recognition of his contribution in the Indo-French partnership in cinema. Nadiadwala’s last production venture ‘Tamasha’ was shot in France’s beautiful Corsica Island.

Sajid expressed his happiness with a statement, “I am very thankful to the French embassy for the honour that they have conferred upon me. France is a beautiful country which is not completely tapped into in our films. Shooting there has been such a delight thanks to the cooperation from them. Looking forward to associating with them more in the near future.

Nadiadwala has some of the blockbuster movies like ‘Judwaa’, ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ and ‘Housefull’ to his credit. He took over the family business of film production in 1990 and gained massive success under the banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. He also directed the superhit Salman Khan starrer ‘Kick’.

Other notable Bollywood artists who have received this French honor include late Sivaji Ganesan, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, superstar Shah Rukh Khan and actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
