A Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been completed, as well as the selection of a consultant.

The film city will be built in three stages. The first phase will cover 376 acre, the second phase will cover 298 acre, and the third phase will cover 326 acre. 780 acres of the proposed land will be used for the film city, while 220 acre will be used for commercial purposes. According to the statement, it will be the world's largest film city.

This UP film city will feature world-class modern technology, as well as special studios for shooting serials and films, as well as all necessary facilities for animation, web series, cartoon films, documentaries, and digital media.
