Filmmaker Boney Kapoor and developer Bhutani Infra-backed firm Bayview Projects officially took possession of the land for the development of the Noida International Film City on Thursday.
The film city, planned at a cost of ₹1,510 crore, is set to become a world-class hub for film production and entertainment.
Arun Vir Singh, CEO of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), emphasized that the project aligns with the vision of the state chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, to create an international film city that will significantly boost the region's economy.
Bayview Projects signed a concession agreement with YEIDA on June 27, 2024, for the development of the Noida International Film City.
The proposed site is located at Sector 21 on Yamuna Expressway, just 4 kilometers from the upcoming Noida International Airport.
In a press statement, Boney Kapoor expressed his vision for the film city, stating, “We will make it a world-class film city, attracting filmmakers from India and around the globe.
It will include an institute for training, retail outlets, a village, a film museum, and more.”
Kapoor further detailed the interactive experiences the film city will offer, such as a viewing gallery with sound-proof glasses for visitors to observe film shootings up close.
He also mentioned the inclusion of a world-class golf course with day and night facilities, adding to the appeal for tourists and visitors.
The CEO of YEIDA, Arun Vir Singh, confirmed that all formalities have been completed, and work will soon begin on the project.
The foundation stone for the film city is expected to be laid before the inauguration of the Noida International Airport.
Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, the Minister for Industrial Development, Export Promotion, NRI, and Investment Promotion in the Government of Uttar Pradesh, highlighted the potential economic impact of the film city.
“The Film City near Jewar Airport is set to be a significant driver of Uttar Pradesh’s industrial growth, creating an estimated 5-7 lakh jobs, both directly and indirectly,” he said.
The minister added that the success of the film city could pave the way for similar initiatives across various sectors, aligning with the government’s goal of fostering industrial development and achieving a $1 trillion economy at the earliest.
The project will encompass a range of facilities, including film production studios, post-production units, a commercial hub, and a film institute offering training in filmmaking, acting, music, and cinematography.
The comprehensive nature of this project aims to make the Noida International Film City a one-stop destination for the global film and entertainment industry.
