Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed met leading filmmakers and actors on Thursday evening and urged them to explore the northern state as a location option for film shoots. Producer Rahul Mittra, who played a key role in bringing the industry folk to the J&K 70 MM event, discussed with the political leader about issues that generally kept film units from heeding the call of the Valley.
