Lot of the places in kashmir are unexplored. Kashmir has formed a New film policy which should be utilised by the entertainment industry. Youth of kashmir is very much inclined towards acting but due to lack of oppourtunities they are not able to make it happen. Kashmir has no theatre groups or academies for aspiring actors to learn. Just to give one audition, an actor has to travel from kashmir to mumbai" dds Saqib wani.
