In order to strengthen the film and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) tourism sectors in Telangana, the State government on Thursday, August 7 announced the development of a new ‘Film in Telangana’ portal, a single-window platform aimed at streamlining permissions and logistics for film shooting across the State.
The announcement was made during a stakeholder meeting chaired by Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, Youth Advancement, Tourism and Culture, and Dil Raju, who currently heads the Telangana Film Development Corporation. The meeting brought together over 20 representatives from the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, cinematographers’ associations, studio heads, and senior officials from departments such as Forest, Endowments, and Heritage Telangana.
