Permissions

Cleared before a camera turns on — police, forest, district and the town council.

The paperwork, handled

The ground is cleared before the unit arrives

Shooting in Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani means permissions from several offices. Saud coordinates them directly — permissions, crowd management and on-site security — so a production doesn’t lose days to paperwork.
