The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL), which had stopped giving permission for shooting films on Namma Metro premises and trains in 2019, has now decided to reopen its premises for film shootings.
The BMRCL released guidelines and regulations for filming within its premises and on rolling stock on Friday, November 24. According to a BMRCL official, the previous suspension of permissions for shooting commercial films and advertisements was driven by safety and security reasons.
“However, we had granted permission for the filming of documentaries related to government schemes and programmes at stations and aboard the trains,” the official added.
