His promise to bring back "Bollywood to Kashmir" has only been welcomed by the country. Modi at a recent election rally in northern Jammu and Kashmir had evoked sentiments towards how the state had remained a hotspot for various film shootings. He had called on the film fraternity to return to the 'Paradise on Earth' so that the Himalayan state benefits economically.
