The Bihar government on Wednesday (December 31, 2025) granted approval to carry out shooting of over 37 films, web series and documentary projects under ‘Bihar Film Promotion Policy, 2024’. The policy has been formulated with the aim to promote film and create a friendly environment for shooting movies in Bihar.
“Of the 37 projects, shooting for many projects are currently under way in Patna and other locations of different districts of the State,” Art and Culture Department Secretary Pranav Kumar told reporters in Patna.
‘Open to any language’
“We have been working for the overall development of film shooting in the State. You know that films like Johny Mera Naam had been shot in Rajgir but with the passage of time, the situation changed. We want to promote the shooting of films in the State either in local language or in Hindi or in any other language,” he further said.
Mr. Kumar admitted that in Bihar there was a need to create an ecosystem for film shooting as mere words will not serve the purpose. He added that the government will have to provide good hotels, roads, security, locations and other facilities to producers and directors.
