The International Convention Hall at the iconic Bombay Stock Exchange towers played host to the second edition of the IAA Young Turks Forum on Tuesday, August 6. Well-known filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt and Stuart Sender participated in a discussion that was moderated by Hungama Digital Media MD and CEO, Neeraj Roy. The topic of the discussion was 'How cinema influences culture and marketing'.

“The question is how we can put some star power and thinking in terms of how we market media, culture and ideas to work for some other issues and causes that will make people think and make an impact in meaningful ways," said Sender.

Mahesh Bhatt was matter of fact when he said, "Having believed that movies do not influence human nature and bring any change, I discovered that some movies that came from my heart did have a significant impact on the lives of people; therefore, it had an impact on culture."
