Bengaluru: Setting at rest speculations regarding the place of establishment of Film City, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the process of setting up the much-awaited Film City at Immavu in Nanjangud taluk of Mysuru district is in progress.
Replying to a call attention motion moved by JD(S) MLC C.N. Manjegowda in the Legislative Council on Thursday, Bommai said that the then Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, in his Budgetary speech (2020-21), had announced that the Film City would be set up near Bengaluru at a cost of Rs. 500 crore on a PPP model. But as the required land was not available near Bengaluru, the Department of Information and Public Relations has decided to set up the Film City in Mysuru district on a PPP model, the CM said.
