Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has announced a new school of film-making at its East Delhi campus today, as per various media reports. Film maker Mahesh Bhatt, composer Anu Malik and team of the film “Tu Meri Puri Kahaani” reportedly attended the event.

Commenting on the launch, Bhatt reportedly said that they joined the university for the inauguration of the school and as practitioners it’s their responsibility to support. This is the age of entertainment and whoever supports cinema is always welcome, he told the media.

IP University vice-chancellor Mahesh Verma shared that the school has been already approved and this is just the formal introduction, as per reports. He also added that coincidently the film stars were nearby when the university called them to join the event.

Film making industry

Filmmaking is a very exciting field, and these days it's all about entertainment. North India doesn't have many filmmaking institutions. Therefore, it's been our desire for a university to provide education in such multi-specialty and diverse areas for a long time, he further said.

Recently, the university introduced a two-year postgraduate programme in mass communication in weekend mode. The University School of Mass Communication (USMC) will offer the course at the East campus.
