SRINAGAR, Apr 10: Rahi Khan (RK) Productions, a prominent film production house in the Valley today appealed to the Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha and Secretary Tourism & Culture Sarmad Hafeez to look into the matter of overcharging by the hoteliers.
In a statement, the owner of RK Productions, Rahi Khan said that hotels across Kashmir are charging exorbitant rates to the film units, and with it being a tourism season, he said, the hoteliers are taking undue advantage of the same.
“The Government, especially the line producers are making every effort to bring back the film units to Kashmir but the high prices charged by the hotels will bring a bad name to Kashmir and its tourism Industry,” Khan said.
He said that they come across many film units that can stay in five stars and three stars as well.
One who can prefer the three stars is being charged equal to a five-star hotel these days which is totally wrong and unethical, Khan said.
Khan said overcharging will lead to the cancellation of major film shoots.
“The LG Manoj Sinha is himself interested in reviving the film shooting culture so we request him and Secretary Tourism to look into this issue on a priority basis,” he said.
