At the International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir, actor Sanjay Suri highlighted the need for modern cinema halls and production facilities across the region.
The International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir (IFFJK) provided a platform for actor Sanjay Suri to address the state’s cultural stakeholders on Thursday. Suri, known for his work in Hindi cinema, pointed out that the region’s limited cinema infrastructure hampers both audience experience and local filmmaking.
He called for the construction of state‑of‑the‑art multiplexes, upgraded projection technology, and dedicated studio spaces that could attract regional and national productions. According to Suri, such investments would not only create jobs but also help showcase Jammu & Kashmir’s unique landscapes on a larger screen.
Industry observers noted that the actor’s remarks align with recent government initiatives aimed at reviving tourism and creative industries in the Union Territory. While no specific funding plan was announced, officials present at the festival indicated that proposals for cinema‑related projects will be reviewed in upcoming budget sessions.
