The Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar announced that government is planning on having a single-window clearance to avoid present cumbersome multi-agency permission system for film shootings in
India.
“India has many scenic and beautiful shooting sites for national and international films but shooting at these locations requires around 15-20 permissions. Government is now preparing for a single-window system which will take care of all the permissions and it will benefit places like Goa, Leh-Ladakh and Andaman and Nicobar,” said Javadekar during the inaugural function of the International Film Festival of India.
“Every film and character leaves a long-lasting imprint on our minds and it has the power to change our thoughts and moods,” he said.
He added that the audience for Indian films is growing by leaps and bounds and people across the world like to watch Indian movies even in China.
“Many good films of the world will be showcased in this film festival and it will be a tribute to former Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar,’’ the Minister said.
He mentioned about a film which will be screened specially for visually impaired people which has been made by local artists of Goa.
