The Uttarakhand Film and TV Programme Producers Association will organise a meet in Dehradun next month to discuss how to develop the film industry in the State. Some personalities of commercial Hindi film industry have been invited to the event apart from various personalities linked with the State’s film industry in different capacities who are slated to attend this meet.
Addressing the media here on Saturday, the UFTVPPA head Shiv Painuli said that the meet slated to be held in the third week of November will be focused on measures needed to develop the making of movies and television serials in Uttarakhand. About 14 years since the creation of Uttarakhand State, the State’s film and television industry has not been able to develop as expected.
Some personalities from commercial Hindi film industry have also been invited to the meet so that regional producers and artistes can also benefit from their experiences. Noted film producer of Uttarakhand, Sunil Badoni said that since the formation of Uttarakhand as a separate State, the condition of regional film producers has deteriorated considerably. Speaking on the occasion, film producer Ashok Chauhan said that considering the dire straits that those in the regional film industry find themselves in, events like the meet planned in November will help guide regional movie producers and others in the regional film industry.
