The Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari (Film City) managing director, Swati Mhase-Patil, on July 22 submitted to the Maharashtra government a draft master plan for the redevelopment of the 521-acre Film City at Goregaon in Bombay. A draft of the new film policy was also submitted.
The Film City consists of 16 indoor studios and 40 outdoor locations. The redevelopment master plan has been prepared with the objective of providing world-class infrastructure to the state’s film, television, OTT and digital content industries while incorporating all modern facilities required by content creators, said state culture minister Ashish Shelar. The film policy focuses on providing incentives and support to the film sector.
Ashish Shelar said that the draft policy would be examined in detail and it would be finalised and placed for approval before the cabinet, only after consultation with the chief minister and deputy chief ministers.
