Union Minister Prakash Javedhkar revealed that the central government is planning to come up with a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for shooting films in India amid COVID-19. The government is also set to provide incentives for production to accelerate film-making in a pandemic situation.
The Information and Broadcasting Minister was speaking at the inauguration of FCCI Frames 2020, a convention on the business of entertainment.
Mr Javadekar said all stakeholders need to work together to make progress and harness the soft power of India – media and entertainment. “Government is coming up with a standard operating procedure for shooting films in India in the light of the pandemic,” he said.
“Further, to accelerate the restart of film-making that had come to a standstill as a result of COVID, it is also coming up with incentives of production in all sectors, including TV serials, film-making, co-production, animation, gaming. We will be announcing these measures shortly,” he said.
Prakash Javadekar also said that more than 80 foreign film producers have taken advantage of the film facilitation office. They have got a single-window clearance for shooting their films in India, he said.
He said the discussions at FICCI FRAMES would certainly throw up new and innovative ideas that can be acted upon.
