LAHORE (HRNW): Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz has announced a landmark initiative to revive the film industry and promote modern technology by approving the establishment of “Punjab Film City,” spanning 50 acres.
According to CM Maryam Nawaz, this state-of-the-art Film City is being established within the “Nawaz Sharif IT City” in Lahore. It stands as the country’s first complete “end-to-end” media production project, aimed at providing international-standard facilities to the Pakistani film, television, and digital media sectors.
Key Features of Punjab Film City:

Education and Trade: A media trade hub along with dedicated film and music schools will be an integral part of the project.
