Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has introduced updated guidelines for film shooting within the metro premises and on rolling stocks (trains).
Filmmakers are now required to pay a licence fee of Rs 50,000 per hour, with a daily maximum capped at Rs 6 lakh. Prior to public release, filmmakers must obtain the BMRCL’s consent by presenting the final film output.
The application process involves submitting a request for shooting 30 days in advance for Indian nationals and 60 days for foreign nationals, accompanied by a detailed script.
The script, locations, and programmes are scrutinised for potential disturbances to safety, normal operation of trains, and passenger safety.
