Big news coming in for all the filmmakers and production houses, the state government has decided to set up a single window system to provide all the permissions required for the shooting of movies, advertisements, music albums and corporate films. It had also decided to provide all the permissions within 15 working days.
For now, the facility is available only for Mumbai.
