Amid the Drug controversy in Mumbai between Shiv Sena and a section Film Industry, Yogi Adityanath has said that the country needs a good film city. Uttar Pradesh is ready to take on this responsibility. We will create a great film city. The area of Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway will be better for Film City. The film will provide a better alternative to city filmmakers. It will also generate employment. In this direction, an action plan should be prepared at the earliest with options for the land.
“The CM, while addressing a review meeting, announced to set up the biggest and most beautiful film city of the country in Gautam Buddh Nagar. He instructed officials to search for a suitable land in or around Noida, Greater Noida or Yamuna Expressway and prepare an action plan,” an official statement said.
“This film city will provide a better alternative to the film producers and, at the same time, will be very useful in terms of employment generation. In this direction, an action plan should be prepared at the earliest with options for land,” it further read.
“This film city will not only provide better opportunities to film-makers but also job opportunities to the youths from the state,” Yogi Adityanath said.
Manikarnika actress Kangana Ranaut instantly reacted to the decision and tweeted “People’s perception that top film industry in India is Hindi film Industry is wrong. Telugu film industry has ascended itself to the top position and now catering films to pan India in multiple languages, many hindi films being shot in Ramoji Hydrabad”.
“Films have an ability to bring the entire nation together, but @PMOIndia let’s first please bring these many industries together who have individual identities but not a collective identity please join them together like Akhand Bharat and we will make it number one in the world”. She further added.
CM Yogi Adityanath made the announcement during a review meeting of development projects of the Meerut Division, comprising Meerut, Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr, Hapur, Baghpat and Gautam Buddh Nagar districts. Stressing on the need for a beautiful film city, Yogi Adityanath said Noida is prepared to take action.
