The Delhi Tourism pavilion at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) was Wednesday transformed into a film set with actors dancing and a camera on roll in a bid to promote Delhi as a film shooting destination.

"Delhi has several places whether it be historical monuments, modern infrastructure and scenic beauty. So this re-creation here is to promote Delhi as a film shooting destination," Surya Kant, manager at Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation Ltd, told IANS.

Delhi Tourism has also released a "film shooting manual" that will give filmmakers an insight about places, government rules and guidelines that one has to observe while seeking permission to shoot in the capital.

"We have also started a film shooting facilitation cell in which we will address queries and provide help to complete the formalities for the shooting," added Kant.

The 33rd IITF that began Nov 14 will go on till Nov 27 at Pragati Maidan here.
