There is a bright future for the film industry in Visakhapatnam. Noted producer D. Rama Naidu has already established a studio and Bunny (Allu Arjun) and Ram Charan are also keen on setting up film studios in the ‘City of Destiny’, said Minister for HRD Ganta Srinivasa Rao.
Recalling his association with the ‘Star Producer’ at a media conference at Rama Naidu Studio here on Wednesday, the Minister said: “We were both MPs during the 1990s, I had suggested to him to set up a studio in the city.” He had also envisioned the growth of the city as a film industry hub more than a decade ago.
Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that the film industry would anchor in the Port City in future and Vizag being billed to become the ‘Financial capital’ would give it an added advantage.
Minister for Panchayat Raj Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu felt that the film industry in Vizag would witness greater growth compared to Hyderabad in the years to come.
