The government's intention is to introduce Ranmihithenna Tele Cinema Village to the world and attract new markets, Mass Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said.

Addressing the Cabinet press briefing at the ministry auditorium yesterday, the minister said there is greater potential in this industry due to the attractive sceneries and locations in the country for filming.

He said no other Asian country except India has given its attention to this concept as yet. The minister said the government is confident that Sri Lanka could achieve positive results by promoting Ranmihithenna Tele Cinema Village. He said the peaceful atmosphere in the country would also help towards this goal.

Rambukwella said the government hopes to screen documentaries on Ranmihithenna at International Film Festivals to attract location hunters to the country.
