There has been a long standing discussion if Vizag can become the hub for film industry in Andhra Pradesh. This topic dates back to pre bifurcation times.
The Congress government in 90s gave several waivers to the film industry, allocated lands in Jubilee Hills area and thus brought the entire industry to Hyderabad.
Later, during the reign of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the topic came up again. Now his son and the present Chief Minister of the state has made Vizag the Executive Capital.
Some land was allocated to build the Film Nagar Cultural Center and the permissions were also granted. The building activity will start shortly. The connectivity to Vizag will improve with this FNCC say many.
In the coming days there are chances to allocate lands for the film industry people who wish to shift to Vizag.
