Hollywood actor Ian McKellen during the opening ceremony of the 7th Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, at Liberty Cinema, Marine Lines, on May 25, 2016 in Mumbai, India. During a ceremony, McKellen said, 'I just want to say how happy I am to be at Kashish; it's my first visit to Mumbai. I made many friends already and I hope this evening to make many more. I've come to Mumbai to celebrate Shakespeare and to celebrate the connections between the United Kingdom and your country. And I've also come to support those who want to get rid of section 377 (which criminalizes homosexuality).'
