During his round 35-minute-long meeting, Akshay informed CM Yogi that there is a great deal of excitement in the Indian film industry about the film city of an UP and many big production houses, producers, directors and actors are waiting for it.

He said that the development of a world-class film and infotainment city in UP will provide a new option to the cinematic world.

He also discussed with Yogi the research and preparations are done before finalising the script of Ram Setu and said that the CM must watch this film once.

The CM said that the film city of UP will be at par with global standards.
