She further said “We are starting with the premier of a Ghana, India collaboration titled Mr. India which is a reflection of the strides made by the Ghanaian movie industry and Global Cinemas’ readiness to support growth in the local movie industry on to the international market”.
“I encourage movie lovers to visit Global Cinemas with their families and friends for a fun-filled moment this September”. She added.
