It has been great to have been associated with TIFF right from its inception. I attended the TIFFest’15 and had the pleasure to interact with Waheeda Rehman. TIFF is the only Tiger-centric festival of India, and I am happy that it has its origins in Madhya Pradesh. I congratulate organisers for this wonderful initiative and I assure all possible support and cooperation of the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department to TIFF.

I am a person who is all into films, so have little knowledge about wildlife. However, when I came to know about TIFF, I admired the cause it has been founded upon. I thought that even if I don’t know much about wildlife, I can definitely do my bit towards conservation by joining this festival and doing whatever possible for me to support it.

Madhya Pradesh is one such state where the tiger can still fight for its existence. I’m thankful to Tigerland India Film Festival and the Forest Department of Madhya Pradesh for this initiative. I make films so that people can get to know our beautiful wildlife. By presenting these films to the masses and the youth, TIFF is doing a great job. Such festivals must keep happening.
