Anubhav Sinha, a famous movie director, visited Patna and talked about how Bihar can become a popular place for making movies.
He said that the government should do more than just give money to filmmakers.
He suggested setting up film schools to train local people, which would help filmmakers who come from places like Mumbai.
He also talked about how violence in movies is more accepted now because people see a lot of it on TV.
He was sad about the low quality of Bhojpuri movies these days.
He believes that even though some movies might be seen as propaganda, there will always be a variety of themes in Indian cinema.
Anubhav Sinha advocates for Bihar to become a preferred film-making destination beyond just offering subsidies.
He suggests setting up film institutes to train local manpower and make locations more attractive for filmmakers.
Sinha believes that the acceptance of violence in movies has increased due to exposure to gore on television.
