How do I print an exposed filter block in a template file?

I have a view with an exposed taxonomy filter. I configured it to be displayed as a separate block so that I can print it another twig template. I tried this.

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_block() for block.html.twig.
 */
 function themename_preprocess_block(array &$variables) {
   $variables['featured'] = views_embed_view('view_name', 'contextual_filter_block_machine_name');
 }

Then I used {{ featured }} in the block template, but it doesn't work.

Is there another way to do this?

I used another approach to solve the problem. I overrode the views template to print the exposed filter where I wanted. You can get it as

{{ exposed}}

in the twig template.
