Guidelines for Shooting of Films in Andaman & Nicobar Islands Directorate of Information & Publicity Andaman & Nicobar Administration
The Andaman & Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal are a rare gift of nature. The group of islands/islets spread over an area of 8249 Sq. Kms. with tropical rainforest and beautiful unexplored beaches graded excellent by many researchers. Besides creeks, rich flora and fauna, marine life and under water corals are the dream destinations of the tourists. The unique picturesque beauty of these islands has not only attracted tourists from all over the world but has made the Islands as one of the best tourist locales for shooting of films. These islands have created curiosity among the National as well as International film makers and they want to shoot films in these islands covering various places of tourist interest located in and around Port Blair and outside the Port Blair area. There is a long felt need to have consolidated guidelines/instructions issued by various departments and a single window permission system of granting permission to film makers to promote “Ease of Doing Business” for film Industry.
In the proposed guidelines the procedure for granting permission for shooting of films has been simplified and a single window system has been proposed to be established by following existing guidelines/instructions issued by different departments of Andaman & Nicobar Administration, and Ministries.
