After the shooting of Mollywood flick ‘Janeman’ in Gulmarg, Malayalam film industry has expressed willingness to shoot more films in the Valley.

Though a few music videos and web-series too have been shot in the Valley after the easing of the Covid-19 lockdown, the line-producers said there were receiving lots of queries from the South Indian film-makers about shooting in Kashmir.

However, this is for the first time that top actors and directors of Malayalam cinema lined up their shoot in the Valley. Crew of ‘Janeman’ just completed a five-day shoot in Gulmarg. We are now receiving lots of queries from South Indian producers willing to shoot in Kashmir,” Navigator Productions’ line-producer Sheikh Abdul Wahid told The Kashmir Monitor.
