He has also served as director general of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). While on site, he delivered a speech on how technology is transforming human interaction.
In a continued inauguration celebration, the studio later welcomed Shekhar Sen, a singer, music composer, lyricist, and Padma Shri recipient. Sen was welcomed with a traditional Indian lamp-lighting ceremony before entering the 5.1 studio for a recording.
