To help filmmakers, it has created a new 'single-window' system.
This means producers can get permission to film in one place instead of visiting many offices.
They can also make all their payments for locations like parks, roads and government buildings in one go.
More than 18 movie producers have already asked for shooting permission.
Bharat Bhushan, the chairman of the state's film corporation, shared this news.
