Great to see Bollywood returning to Kashmir! The film city project could bring so many job opportunities for locals and boost tourism. J&K's beauty deserves to be showcased on the big screen. Wishing Santoshi ji all the best for Lahore 1947 too!

Exciting news! But I hope they involve Kashmiri artists and technicians in these projects, not just bring people from Mumbai. Local talent needs opportunities too. The film museum in Pahalgam sounds wonderful though 😊

After watching Gadar 2, I can't wait for Lahore 1947! Sunny Deol in a Rajkumar Santoshi film is always fireworks. Hope they show the real history of partition without any sugarcoating. J&K film city is a smart move - Kashmir was always Bollywood's favorite location.

Good initiative but I'm concerned about the environmental impact in Pahalgam. That place is ecologically sensitive. Hope they do proper assessments before building anything there. Otherwise, great to see Kashmir getting attention for positive reasons!

Santoshi sir meeting LG shows how much things have changed in Kashmir. Remember when film shootings stopped there due to security concerns? Now with cinema halls reopening and new projects, it's a new dawn for the valley's entertainment scene. #Progress
