“I am very glad to note that you are taking up the film as much more than an entertainment but also as an industry. I also note that you have big plans to interact with your State Government for expansion of the film industry in the State. I also appreciate your point that your beautiful state nestling in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas provide ideal locations for film making. Your idea of a film city to be established in your State is very laudable.
As you are aware the general economic and industrial crisis in the country coupled with the rising popularity of the small screen is challenging the very foundations of film industry. Unless the Government comes forward with thoughtful and integrated plans of assistance, it would be very difficult for this industry and the art form to survive. I congratulate you for taking up all these issues in right earnest. Kindly tell us what we from this distance can do to build up bridges between the film industry in the northern-most State and the southern-most State of India “
