After Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh government has also shown interest in the development of a ‘film city’ in the state.

MP home minister Narottam Mishra said the state government is ready to welcome film city in the state - a move that will not only give employment to people but will also give them an opportunity to show their talent.
Mishra made this announcement after a meeting with producer and director Rajkumar Santoshi in Bhopal on Tuesday.
Mishra said, “Santoshi wants to develop a film city in MP and open a film academy. We welcome the decision because it will be an opportunity for the residents of the state.”
