Conceptual plan of Mohali Film City being readied

MUMBAI: After the Punjab government’s nod to set up a world-class film city in Mohali last week, the state principal secretary Tourism and Culture, Geetika Kalha is busy putting up the conceptual plan for the proposed project.

The Punjab government was initially hobnobbing with the idea of setting up the film city in Rupanagar but has now changed it to Mohali as it has better infrastructure and is in close proximity to the state capital.

Along with the Film City, a film and television institute on the lines of the one at Pune will also be set up as an integral part of the city.

Film producers who have evinced interest in the Mohali Film City are producer and chairman of Chandigarh Film Advisory Committee, Yash Chopra and Dharmendra, besides Anupam Kher and Jaspal Bhatti.
