Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced on Sunday the establishment of a 50-acre Punjab Film City in Lahore, describing the project as a major step towards revitalising the country’s media and entertainment industry.
The announcement, shared on the Punjab Government WhatsApp channel, states that the Film City will be developed within the Nawaz Sharif IT city and is being positioned as Pakistan’s first fully “end-to-end” media production hub. According to the chief minister, the initiative aims to support the revival of the film industry through modern technology, infrastructure, and resources.
She said the facility would bring together film, television, animation, and digital media production under one roof, reducing reliance on foreign countries for visual effects (VFX) and post-production work.
