The Indian film industry, one of the most productive and diverse in the world, known for Bollywood and regional centers in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai, is now gaining a significant new center.
The foundation stone for another film city and cultural center was officially laid in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, a project worth $49 million, positioning the region as a new destination for film production.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai highlighted the importance of the project in promoting local stories and global visibility of the region at the ceremony.
The first phase of development on 95 hectares of water includes not only recording studios, but also exhibition and convention facilities, a hotel, business lounges and a helipad, with the aim of providing economic opportunities for local artisans and tribal communities.
The location could be used for the shooting of upcoming hits like "Golmaal 5" and "Gadaar 3", as well as other films in pre-production.
