The move to host the prestigious Filmfare Awards in Gujarat aligns perfectly with the state's ambitious Cinematic Tourism Policy 2022, positioning it as a burgeoning hub for the film industry. The Chief Minister, who also unveiled the iconic Black Lady trophy on the occasion, underscored the cultural and economic importance of this event.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel highlighted that under the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat has become a preferred destination for entertainment investments. He further emphasised that hosting the Filmfare Awards will serve multiple purposes beyond glamour. It is expected to significantly boost the local economy, generate employment, and actively promote the purchase and sale of indigenous products. This initiative will strongly reinforce the national calls for 'Vocal for Local' and Atmanirbharta (self-reliance), cementing the film industry's role in promoting Swadeshi values.

With the 'King Khan' set to charm the audiences and Gujarat rolling out the red carpet, the 70th Filmfare Awards is poised to be an unforgettable confluence of cinematic excellence and state pride, marking a golden chapter in Gujarat's journey on the national stage.
