Indian airports are quietly undergoing a major travel upgrade, and some of Bollywood’s biggest names are already on board.
Actors Rani Mukerji and Sushmita Sen have recently enrolled in the government’s Fast Track Immigration – Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP), a system designed to dramatically cut waiting time at immigration counters. The Bureau of Immigration has been actively promoting the initiative across social platforms, featuring celebrities registering and using the new e-gates for seamless clearance.
In one widely shared video, Rani Mukerji is seen completing her registration process, while another shows Sushmita Sen enrolling for the service. A separate clip captures Malayalam superstar Mohanlal clearing immigration through the new e-gates within seconds. Collectively, the campaign has already crossed millions of online views.
What Is the Fast Track Immigration – Trusted Traveller Programme?
Launched in 2024, the FTI-TTP is a government initiative that reduces immigration processing time from roughly 30 minutes to just a few seconds by using biometric verification and automated e-gates.
