Uttar Pradesh Becomes New Favorite Location For Bollywood Filmmakers To Shoot Their Movies

India is full of interesting destinations which have been chosen by Bollywood filmmakers to shoot their movies. And currently, Uttar Pradesh becomes a new location listed to be their favorite one, which promises to produce the greatest film scenes ever.

While Uttar Pradesh is still a virgin destination, it is said by officials that favorable conditions, coupled with film-friendly policies have made it a perfect place for shooting.

Actor Amitabh Bachchan opts it to shoot his forthcoming film titled Gulabo Sitabo. In addition, Uttar Pradesh was also where such renowned movies as Toilet Ek Prem Katha, Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, Bareilly ki Barfi, and Raid were shot.

Especially, Varanasi - a city of state Uttar Pradesh - had also been selected as a backdrop to shoot much-loved movies, including Bunty Aur Babli, Laga Chunri Mein Daag, Raanjhanaa, Masaan, and Mukti Bhawan. Karan Johar also has a fancy for this place as he decided to shoot his much-awaited movie Brahmastra there.

As stated by Avanish Awasthi, the Principal Secretary of Information & Tourism, Uttar Pradesh offers the most favorable resources and conditions for producing films.

He reveals that if the crew meets the criteria, we provide subsidy and ensure the movie units are supplied with all the assistance and security. 21 films have been approved to shoot here and this means that more films will be shot in the state in the forthcoming months.

Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow has now been preferably picked by many film producers because it offers numerous palatial bungalows and “havelis” which help to convey the grace of on-screen storytelling in the films and create new memorials for the audiences.

Earlier, actor-filmmaker Akshay Kumar had selected Lucknow to be the attraction to shoot his 2017 movie Jolly LLB 2. Furthermore, other projects, including Dawat-e-Ishq, Ishaqzaade, and Lucknow Central were also set in Lucknow. Forthcoming Batla House directed by John Abraham is another movie to be shot in Lucknow too.
