Film Forum Manipur (FFM) chairman S Mangoljao said its executive committee has decided that any film production company/producer from outside the state should obtain prior permission of the Forum for production of films based on life of sportspersons/eminent persons of state or films depicting Manipuri art and culture.
Speaking during title registration event of biopic film 'Mirabai Chanu' to be produced by Seuti Films Production at Forum's Lamphelpat office on Thursday, S Mangoljao informed that the decision was taken to ensure people from outside the state do not depict state's art & culture in the wrong light.
