The Filmfare Awards 2025 will take place on October 11, 2025, at EKA Arena near Kankaria Lake in Ahmedabad. In August, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in Gandhinagar between the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL) and Worldwide Media Private Limited, with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel present.
The agreement signed by TCGL’s Managing Director, Prabhav Joshi, and Rohit Gopakumar of Worldwide Media. Thanks to the Cinematic Tourism Policy 2022, Gujarat has become a center for the film industry. Hosting the Filmfare Awards marks a key moment in this journey, according to a press release from the Gujarat Chief Minister’s Office.

During this event, the CM also revealed the iconic Filmfare Trophy, known as the Black Lady. CM Bhupendra Patel pointed out that under PM Modi’s guidance, Gujarat has gained new momentum in economic, social, and cultural development, making it a top spot for entertainment investments.
He stressed that the film industry can promote Swadeshi (indigenous production) and Atmanirbharta (self-reliance). Hosting the prestigious Filmfare Awards 2025 in Gujarat will not only boost the local economy and create jobs but also encourage the buying and selling of local products. This aligns with the Prime Minister’s call for ‘Vocal for Local’ and supports the use of indigenous goods and services.
