“There will be many studios and different floors here. There will be a permanent water tank in a studio. It will have a virtual studio, where a big LED screen will be installed. These screens can be 80 by 20 or even bigger. Here you can show computer-generated scenes. There will be studios of different sizes. Some for TV shows, some for films. Some places will have permanent sets. Also, there will be an open ground where outdoor shooting can be done. All this will be spread over 155 acres,” NBT quoted Kapoor as saying.
The geo-technical survey of the land on which the construction is to be done is almost complete and the company will submit its building plan in the next few days.
