With a view to facilitating film shooting by foreign film makers, the government is working out details for setting up a Film Facilitation Unit.
“Government proposes to set up a Film Facilitation Unit towards facilitation of film shooting by foreign film makers in India,” Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore said in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.
The minister said the proposal includes development of a web portal. Necessary details are being worked out towards the implementation of the proposal.
Replying to another question, Rathore said a meeting of members of Consultative Committee of Members of Parliament attached to the ministry was held in February where measures towards projecting India as a destination for film shooting by foreign producers was discussed.
In reply to another question, Rathore said Doordarshan has telecast 17 films with patriotic theme on ‘DD National Channel’ during the last three years including the current year.
