HYDERABAD: Wanna meet your favourite silver screen stars? Gone are the days when you jostled with fans to catch a glimpse of your favourite actors and actresses in Tollywood. For the Telangana Tourism department is planning to introduce Tollywood-Tourism, offering movie buffs an opportunity to visit studios and shooting locations.

 

Telangana Tourism secretary B Venkatesham will forward a formal request to the Tollywood to start the “Tollywood Tourism”.

 

Post bifurcation, Hyderabad is the only film capital for both the states. “People from even AP come to Hyderabad and visit studios and other places,” officials said.

 

“It is a novel idea to start Tollywood Tourism,” said film producer Dil Raju. Tourism secretary Venkatesham discussed the idea with Dil Raju on Wednesday.

 

“The department will soon consult other producers like Daggubati Suresh Babu. Later, a formal letter will be sent to the film chamber to launch an innovative tourism package,” official sources revealed.

 

The Maharashtra Tourism department has already started Bollywood Tourism with three kinds of packages. If Telangana Tourism fixes a tariff of Rs 1,000 per head and has a minimum 500 tourists daily, the department will earn crores through the initiative, claimed the official.
