GREATER NOIDA:

The plan includes a convention centre for film events and a museum dedicated to Indian cinema, a specialised film festival district featuring guest houses and auditoriums, accommodation for artists and compact studio units, the people cited above said. The facility will also feature large sound stages and an underwater shooting studio.

The move came weeks after Yeida said permission could not be given to start construction work until the layout map was approved. On Monday, Kapoor visited the authority office to seek approval for the layout, and also discussed the ground breaking ceremony date with Yeida officials.
