Shillong (Meghalaya), Nov 22: The state has achieved a significant milestone with the completion of its first full-length feature film under the Meghalaya Film Tourism Policy 2025. The Telugu feature film “Baa Baa Black Sheep” has completed its entire shoot in the state, with every frame captured across Meghalaya’s dramatic landscapes, particularly in Sohra.
The film, directed by Guni Manchikanti and produced by Chitralayam Studios, was shot in a remarkably efficient 25 days and employed nearly 2,000 local youth across various departments. Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma congratulated the filmmakers, noting that the film symbolizes the state’s creative ambitions and production readiness.
The film’s producer, Venu Donepudi, praised the state’s support and the efficiency of local teams, saying that the film was completed in record time. The film will have a multilingual release, including a Khasi version, and the filmmakers have invited Chief Minister Sangma to the national premiere.
The Meghalaya Film Tourism Policy 2025 aims to boost tourism, upskill local talent, and generate employment opportunities in the film industry. With its unique terrain, rich cultural identity, and young population, Meghalaya is positioning itself as a dynamic centre for storytelling, content creation, and film-led tourism.
