Chhattisgarh is stepping up efforts to position itself as a major national film shooting destination, with Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai's government seeking to leverage the state's natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and tourism potential to attract filmmakers from across the country.

A high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Vikasheel at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan reviewed key initiatives, including the renewal of the state's film policy, expediting the proposed Chitrotpala Film City, identifying new shooting locations and simplifying permissions through transparent, filmmaker-friendly processes. The initiative is expected to give a boost to film production, tourism and the hospitality sector while generating employment opportunities for local artists, technicians and youth.
