Gaddar film awards to be presented on June 14
Hyderabad: Deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka on Tuesday announced that the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards ceremony will be held on June 14. At a high-level review meeting, he directed officials to prepare a comprehensive detailed project report for transforming Greater Hyderabad into a world-class film city, complete with a streamlined single-window clearance system. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Gaddar Film Awards ceremony, scheduled for June 14, is expected to be a high-profile event, with invitations extended to leading figures from the Telugu film fraternity and prominent film personalities from across the country. Heading the three-member ministerial committee tasked with the development of the film industry in the state, Bhatti asserted that Hyderabad would soon emerge as a premier destination for both Indian and international film productions. He instructed officials from the information department and the Telangana Film Development Corporation (TFDC) to prepare the project roadmap without delay. "Currently, film producers are required to secure separate permissions from various departments—police, fire, municipal bodies—creating unnecessary hurdles. To address this, we have decided to implement a single-window clearance system," the deputy CM said. He also ordered the appointment of a dedicated liaison officer within TFDC to coordinate and expedite all approvals, ensuring filmmakers face minimal red tape. Bhatti emphasised that promoting film shoots in scenic locations across Telangana would simultaneously boost the state's tourism industry. He also raised concerns over the exorbitant prices of food and beverages sold at cinema theatre canteens, stating that cine-goers were being unfairly burdened. Officials were instructed to formulate measures to regulate and standardise these prices. Bhatti also reviewed key infrastructure aspects, including 50 acres of land previously allotted to the TFDC.
