The construction of the film city project is likely to start in January 2022 by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath near Noida, said state government officials on Monday.
To construct a public-private partnership model at an estimated cost of Rs 6,000 crore, the project is recommended to appear in Sector 21 of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in Gautam Budh Nagar district.
The officials said that the company has to prepare the bid document within three weeks. Soon after, domestic and foreign companies can participate under the global tender.
The company’s selection for building the project will be held in three phases that will be finalised by December 31.
With the 40 years agreement with the company, the construction will likely start in January next year.
Last year in December, chief minister Adityanath announced plans to build a film city near Noida on 1,000 acres of land.
A New Film City
After the announcement of the film city near Noida has grabbed everyone’s attention.
After the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput and the unrest that followed seems to have tempted yogi Adityanath to try the film industry in UP.
The clear objective is to provide a facilitative environment for similar-minded filmmakers.
UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath was quite evident with the aim while announcing in September. He implies Mumbai had lagged to produce nationalistic films.
So, the new film city will promote national sentiment and people’s aspiration for a new India.
His narrative stated that Due to recent incidents, the Mumbai film industry has emerged as an anti-Hindu, anti-national and controlled entity by the underworld and the drug mafia, which was easily sipped by a large section of people and best fitted in political notions.
Such an industry will provide opportunities and employment to large sections of people and promote the state’s culture and diversity.
