The Lieutenant Governor of J&K, Manoj Sinha has divulged that more than 300 movies were shot in Jammu & Kashmir last year and the record will break this year as more bollywood movies are expected to be shot in Jammu & Kashmir in 2023. The return of bollywood in Jammu & Kashmir will once again open employment opportunities to the people, especially the youngsters, who have been desiring and aiming to opt their career in bollywood.

Besides, the picturesque places should be maintained well in terms of proper sanitation and other related things so that the return of bollywood is welcomed and the industry is paved way to make its entry with smiles and cheers.
