The dream of a modern film industry in Pakistan is finally taking shape. The government of Punjab has announced its first-ever Punjab Film City in Lahore, and it’s already creating excitement among young creators, filmmakers, and artists across the country.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz shared that this project has been in planning for nearly two years. Designed with input from industry experts, the film city aims to provide everything needed for content creation in one place—from filming to editing and final production.
Spread across 50 acres inside the larger Nawaz Sharif IT City, the project will include world-class studios, modern sound stages, and advanced VFX and post-production labs. It will also feature outdoor sets, including a central lake, giving filmmakers creative freedom without leaving the country.
What makes this project even more exciting is its focus on youth. A film and music school, along with spaces for international events, will help new talent grow. The initiative is expected to create thousands of jobs and boost Pakistan’s image globally.
This is more than just a film city—it’s a step toward a creative future.
