INDIA’S BIGGEST FILM CITY (PROPOSED)

Sept. 21, 2020

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that his government will establish the country’s ‘biggest’ film city in Gautam Buddh Nagar.

About:

  • Though a proposal for the film city is yet to be prepared, Yamuna Expressway Industrial Authority (YEIDA) is in the process of looking for appropriate land for the project.

  • As per the UP Film Policy, 2018, the state government will “support establishment of film cities by providing land at industrial rates” and also assist in developing the right infrastructure for it.

  • Film Bandhu, a nodal agency of the state government, overlooks the implementation of the Film Policy.

  • With several films and web series now being shot in the state, the dedicated film city is likely to bring employment while providing a haven for filmmakers.
