In this podcast, on youtube, we discuss one key factor that could set up a film city or film studio in Andhra by looking at what happened in Kannada Film Industry, Sandalwood.
In light of the recent announcement from the Hon'ble CM of Karnataka that a film city is sanctioned near Mysore, we probe into the reason that could have led to this over 40 year long pending decision. Accordingly, we discuss what we could do in Andhra to ensure a similar thing can happen regardless of how and when the current Telugu film industry in Telangana will plan.
The podcast episode discusses the recent announcement by the Chief Minister of Karnataka to establish a film city in Mysore, drawing parallels to the need for a film city in Andhra Pradesh. It highlights the historical attempts and changes in location for the film city in Karnataka, emphasizing the success of the Kannada film industry and the impact of movies like KGF in bringing recognition and creating a use case for a film city. The podcast episode also encourages the creators and artists in Andhra Pradesh to produce high-quality movies like KGF and Baahubali to showcase the talent in the region and attract the government's attention for setting up a film city. It emphasizes the benefits of a film city, such as job opportunities, training academies, and a supportive ecosystem for the industry. This episode concludes by urging creators to take initiative and create a positive impact to persuade the government to support the establishment of a film city.
Thanks for your interest in the development of Andhra.
