Jammu, 9 October (H.S.): On the third day of the ongoing PIB J&K Media Tour to Mumbai, the delegation of journalists from Jammu and Kashmir today visited the Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagri (Film City) in Goregaon.

The visit aimed to familiarize media persons with the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking and the functioning of India’s film industry.

The delegation witnessed multiple shooting locations within the sprawling 520-acre Film City premises, a space synonymous with India’s cinematic excellence.

They also visited sets of popular national and regional films and television serials and interacted with technicians and artists to gain insights into various aspects of film production and shooting.

The delegation also visited Whistling Woods International Institute, located within the Film City complex, where they toured VFX studios and learned about emerging technologies in film production.

The senior officials of the institute briefed the team about the growing use of virtual production technologies, which have significantly reduced the need for outdoor shooting and streamlined the filmmaking process.

Speaking on the occasion, Neha Jalali, Director, PIB Jammu, said, “The Film City visit provided an invaluable opportunity for our media colleagues from Jammu and Kashmir to understand the evolution of Indian cinema, the new technologies shaping the industry and the immense creative possibilities that lie within visual storytelling. Such exposure deepens their perspective on how media, culture and technology intersect to influence contemporary narratives.”
