Entertainment Nov 04, 2025

Film crews have finally returned to Kashmir, months after the deadly Pahalgam attack in April 2025 that left 26 people dead and put filming on pause.
A Telugu film team is now shooting in Aru Valley, marking a hopeful comeback for both tourism and entertainment in the region.

More films could follow if things stay calm

Most productions had pulled out after the attack, with safety a big concern.
But according to Casting Kashmir's Omer, this new shoot has brought fresh optimism—the crew felt safe thanks to local support and strong security.
If things stay calm, more films could follow, helping local businesses bounce back and putting Kashmir back on the map for filmmakers.
