The government is coming up with a standard operating procedure (SOP) for shooting films in India in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is also set to provide incentives for production to accelerate restarting of film-making, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said on Tuesday.

Speaking through a video link at the virtual inauguration of FICCI Frames 2020, a convention on the business of entertainment, Javadekar said all stakeholders need to work together to make progress and harness the soft power of India — media and entertainment.

Javadekar also said more than 80 foreign film producers have taken advantage of the film facilitation office. They have got a single window clearance for shooting their films in India.

The minister said the discussions at FICCI Frames would certainly throw up new and innovative ideas that can be acted upon.
