Hindustan TimesFacing losses, and amid fear of demolition by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the film studio owners’ association has submitted a set of recommendations for a new film shooting policy the civic body is expected to formulate next month. A letter signed by Rakesh Bhosle on behalf of the association has sought single window clearance for permissions in a time-bound manner, defining of studio structure, and easing of land reservation requirement among others. “Semi-permanent or temporary or permanent structures can be constructed as per policy but there should be clarity on materials to be used.” The studio owners have also suggested that the height of structure be at least 60 feet to enhance the experience of viewers since new wide zoom cameras used in films require good space and height.
