Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said he would bring back the glory days of Bollywood from when films were shot in Kashmir.
“I have to bring back Bollywood to Kashmir,” Modi said while addressing a BJP rally in the town of Kishtwar.
Noting that the fastest growing industry in the world today is the tourism industry, he said: “I have to bring back tourism to the state and I have to make Jammu and Kashmir the ultimate tourist destination in the world.”
A number of movies have been shot in Kashmir, including Kashmir Ki Kali, Mission Kashmir, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and more recently Haider.
The five-phased assembly elections begin in the state on November 25.
