Visit Victoria, in partnership with IFFM 2022, hosted a Round Table with Rajeev Masand, Kapil Dev and Kabir Khan to discuss their favourite Melbourne moments at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) today. Anchored by celebrated Indian film critic and journalist, Rajeev Masand, the Melbourne round table was a special rendezvous filled with conversations about all things Melbourne, cricket memories and films.
During the conversation Kapil Dev relived some of his most iconic cricketing moments at the MCG especially the legendary 5/28 in 1981 during the third Test match vs Australia.
Kabir Khan’s 83 film was specially honoured at IFFM 2022. Rajeev Masand spoke to Kabir Khan about the success of the film and his take on the love for Indian cinema in Melbourne. Rajeev also indulged in a witty conversation with Kapil Dev and Kabir Khan that delved into various segments such as the Melbourne connection, cherishing memories associated with the city and their favourite Melbourne moments.
According to Brendan McClements, Chief Executive Officer, Visit Victoria, “Given Melbourne’s role as both the sporting and cultural capital of Australia, we were proud to bring these two worlds together through today’s roundtable in partnership with IFFM.”
“India is a key global market for us and we’re looking forward to welcoming travellers for the T20 World Cup later this year where Victoria will host key matches including India versus Pakistan and the final at the MCG
