Next Filmfare Awards Will Be Held In Gujarat

GANDHINAGAR -Gujarat will once again play host to Bollywood’s prestigious celebration, the 70th Filmfare Awards 2025, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the state and organizers Worldwide Media.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said, “Supporting the Filmfare Awards not only promotes the film industry but also strengthens cinematic tourism. Film-making in Gujarat will accelerate the spirit of self-reliance and swadeshi,” he said, adding that hosting the event would boost the local economy, generate employment, and highlight Gujarat’s diverse tourism legacy to a global audience.

He emphasized that iconic locations – from the White Rann of Kutch and Somnath to Gir National Park and the Statue of Unity – would gain global visibility through the Filmfare platform.

Worldwide Media CEO Rohit Gopakumar highlighted Gujarat’s “five identities” — ancient, spiritual, artistic, modern, and entertainment — calling the Filmfare partnership a milestone in strengthening the state’s entertainment brand.

Actor Vikrant Massey, who received his first Filmfare award in Gujarat last year, described hosting the event in his “land of culture” as a matter of personal pride. (IANS)
