Mysuru: The much sought-after Film City, which was granted to Mysuru, the City of Palaces, was moved to Ramanagaram, the constituency represented by Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy in his Budget. But unhappy with the move, film-makers are now planning to convince the CM to retain the mega project in Mysuru. They argue that Himmavu is best suited for the Film City as there are over 250 scenic locations to shoot a movie.
Himmavu, near Mysuru, which falls under Varuna constituency that was represented by Siddharamaiah, former Chief Minister, for two terms and now by his son Dr. Yathindra Siddharamaiah, was identified for the establishment of the Film City earlier and 116-acre land for the project had been transferred to the Department of Tourism and the work was supposed to have started by now.
