Shillong, Nov 22: The first full-length feature film under the Meghalaya Film Tourism Policy 2025, has been completed.
The Telugu feature, Baa Baa Black Sheep, directed by Guni Manchikanti and produced by Chitralayam Studios, has completed its entire shoot in the state, with every frame captured across Meghalaya’s dramatic landscapes, particularly in Sohra.
