Uttar Pradesh is witnessing stage-by-stage development, whether it’s the construction of a new expressway or other developmental projects, the state is seeing a transformation. One such project is the Film City, which will be built near the Yamuna Expressway and Noida International Airport.

Bollywood director and producer Boney Kapoor & his team have submitted a layout plan for approval to initiate development work at the Film City project site in Noida’s Sector 21, according to the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA).

As reported by Hindustan Times, Director Boney Kapoor mentioned that the construction will follow the rules in the agreement. As per this important film facilities, like studios and a film school must be built first and finished within three years.

The proposal includes a large conference center for movie events and an Indian film museum. There will be a special location for film festivals, which will have places for guests to stay and halls for screenings. The design also has living spaces for artists and small studios. It will also have large sound stages and a special studio for filming underwater scenes.

As quoted by Hindustan Times, Arun Vir Singh, Chief Executive Officer of YEIDA, stated that, “The authority had sought that the concessionaire first secure approvals for its core components — film studios and an institute — and then proceed with construction on the ground. The directive, issued through a letter on May 2 to Bayview Bhutani Film City Private Limited, stated that construction must begin within a year of signing the concession agreement, which happened on June 27, 2024. It also said non-compliance will attract a daily penalty of ₹1.5 lakh until construction starts.”

YEIDA CEO, ArunVir Singh also mentioned, “Any deviation in the layout plan will not be approved. The authority has directed the concessionaire to obtain necessary approvals for detailed parking, landscaping, horticulture work, and to develop the project in a phased manner.”
