Chhattisgarh’s
new film policy is attracting renowned filmmakers from Mumbai to shoot their

Suspects’, directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and starring Ashutosh Rana, has
concluded in the state.

“Jahanabad”
will be filmed at various locations in Kanker, Kawardha, Rajnandgaon and Raipur

will also get the opportunity to work for this project.

The
new film policy of the state was approved in the cabinet meeting chaired by
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on September 8, 2021. Under the new policy,
provisions have been made to attract Bollywood filmmakers, with the aim of
strengthening tourism and infrastructure and to help the local filmmakers to
produce films here.

Chief
objective of the new film policy is to make Chhattisgarh a film friendly state,
to develop as a central hub for shooting films, to develop employment
opportunities for local talent and to encourage investors for film production,
as well as to attract investors for film production. Films shot in the state
would bring national and international recognition to the cultural places here.

Welcoming
the new film policy of the state, renowned filmmaker Sudheer Mishra said that
this initiative of chief minister Bhupesh Baghel will help and facilitate the
filmmakers to shoot in different locations of this beautiful state.
Chhattisgarh has all kinds of locations suitable for film shooting. There are
various beautiful views of Raipur and Bilaspur, dense forests, tribal areas,
Bhilai Steel Plant, ancient towns, and temples.

Mishra
said that we chose Chhattisgarh for the shooting of our web series ‘Jahanabad’,
which will be aired on ‘Sony Liv’ and ‘Studio Next’. This is an amazing show
written by Rajeev Barnwal and directed by him and  Satyanshu Singh,
starring big and budding actors like Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Rajat Kapoor,

in preparing the new film policy of the state, said that Bollywood filmmakers
are taking a keen interest in the recently announced new film policy of the state
