Abhay Sinha placed special emphasis on subsidy approvals promised under the Bihar Film Policy. He informed the Deputy Chief Minister that more than 30 films have been made in Bihar over the past few years, yet several of them are still waiting for subsidy approval. He requested that the pending subsidies be cleared soon so filmmakers continue to trust the system and Bihar can evolve into a major center for film production.

Sinha said Bihar has tremendous potential for filmmaking. Its culture, locations, and talent pool can attract filmmakers from across the country. If the government ensures timely subsidies and supportive facilities, Bihar could become a significant hub for not only Bhojpuri cinema but films in other languages as well.

Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary responded positively and assured that the subsidy approval process would be expedited. He said efforts are underway to create an even more film-friendly ecosystem in the state. He also mentioned plans to host major film award functions and cultural events in Bihar, which would help strengthen the state’s presence in cinema and the arts.

Welcoming the government’s assurance, Abhay Sinha said these steps would give new direction and momentum to Bihar’s film industry.
