Project Details
- Location: Sector 21, Yamuna Expressway, Greater Noida
- Total Area: 1,000 acres

Master Plan Submitted
Boney Kapoor and his team have submitted the master plan for the first phase of the Film City project to the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) for approval. Construction is expected to begin next month once the plan is approved.
Comprehensive Facilities
The Film City project will include a wide range of facilities, including:
- Studios
- Villas for actors
- Outdoor sets
- A university to train technicians
The goal is to provide a one-stop shop for filmmakers, where they can arrive with a script and leave with a completed film.
On-Site Equipment and Amenities
In addition to infrastructure, the Film City will also provide on-site equipment such as cameras, cranes, and lighting, eliminating the need for filmmakers to bring their own. The project also includes the construction of luxury villas for film stars, complete with private pools, gyms, and staff quarters.
Collaboration and Support
YEIDA has pledged its support for the project, promising to provide necessary infrastructure like roads, water supply, and electricity. The authority aims to make the region a sought-after destination for filmmakers.
A Vision for a World-Class Film City
Boney Kapoor envisions the Film City as a world-class facility that provides filmmakers with the infrastructure and support they need to create high-quality films at a reduced cost.
With the submission of the master plan and the commitment of both the developers and YEIDA, the Film City project is poised to become a major hub for filmmaking in India, attracting talent and investment to the region.
