Union Minister Anurag Thakur said on Sunday that Yogi Adityanath’s government has made it easier to shoot movies in the state and that the subsidies provided by his government are encouraging ambitious young filmmakers. He praised Uttar Pradesh for giving sports and movies the same importance while inviting investment.
On the final day of the Global Investors Summit in Lucknow, the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Youth Affairs, and Sports spoke at a session titled “Media & Entertainment—The Indian Digital Growth Story” said “In a way, Uttar Pradesh is going to contribute one-fifth of the country (in everything)…Be it through medals or films like RRR, sports and cinema are two sectors that break the boundaries of the country and make it proud. I’m thankful to CM Yogi for paying the required attention to both.”
Talking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of promoting sports and developing sports infrastructure, Thakur said UP was moving ahead to fulfill the PM’s vision.
“When we talk about the creative economy in the world, India is the country that produces the maximum number of films. We must encourage film production in unexplored areas…Animation, visual effects, gaming and comics are the new emerging sectors which must be explored as we have a lot of potential not only in production but post-production,” the Union Minister said.
It now simpler to shoot movies in Uttar Pradesh
He lauded the state government’s efforts, saying that not only is it now simpler to shoot movies in Uttar Pradesh, but the incentives provided are also inspiring aspiring filmmakers. In addition to restoring musical gharanas in the state, UP is also creating a great film metropolis on 1,000 acres.
Hema Malini, a Mathura MP, Ravi Kishan, a Gorakhpur MP, KC Bokadia, Madhur Bhandarkar, and Satish Kaushik, among other dignitaries, also attended the session. Others in attendance included Shishir, the director of information, and Sanjay Prasad, the principal secretary of home, information, and CM.
