BMC steps into entertainment world as
Facilitator
It’a for the first time ever, Mumbai’s cash-rich civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has stepped into the world of entertainment, merely not as regulator, but a facilitator.
A coffee table book on Mumbai’s cinematic legacy and a green filming handbook was launched at the symposium.
According to the Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, BMC’s involvement in the entertainment world film is not about control, but about collaboration. He makes it aptly clear that BMC is not here as an organiser but as a participant. This was at a meet hosted by the BMC in collaboration with Mumbai – City of Film and the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, on Wednesday.
Titled the ‘Role of Film Industry in Mumbai’s Economic Development’, the event is part of Mumbai’s designation as a UNESCO Creative City of Film in 2019.

Gagrani spelt out the civic body’s vision to support and strengthen Mumbai’s entertainment ecosystem. The Municipal Commissioner further added that while the municipality has played the role of service provider and stakeholder in various other sectors, this is the first time the BMC is formally engaging with the entertainment industry.
