The state cabinet has given official approval for a ₹729 crore film city project in Mysore, aiming to boost the region's entertainment infrastructure.
Mysore will host a new high‑tech film city after the Karnataka state cabinet granted formal approval for the project. The development, estimated at ₹729 crore, is expected to create a modern hub for film production, post‑production and related services.
The approval was announced by the state ministerial panel, which highlighted the project's potential to attract investment and generate employment in the region. Officials said the film city will feature state‑of‑the‑art studios, sound stages, editing suites and ancillary facilities.
The initiative aligns with Karnataka's broader strategy to strengthen its entertainment sector and position the state as a preferred destination for filmmakers. Construction is slated to begin later this year, with further details on timelines and partnerships to be released by the authorities.
