PATNA: With places of scenic beauty going untapped, the state government has initiated a variety of measures to promote shooting of films in a bid to cultivate its fairly new image before the world.
Chief minister
Nitish Kumar, who reviewed the works of the arts, culture and youth affairs department at a meeting held here on Thursday, asked the officials concerned to simplify the official processes for clearance and provide all facilities to the interested filmmakers so that they don't face any problems in film shooting in the state.
The CM said filmmaking in the state would not only promote tourism, but also provide opportunities to local artists and create new job opportunities.
