Development

The film city is the brainchild of film producer Ramoji Rao, who wanted to build a studio similar to the ones in Hollywood. On procuring the land, he signed art director Nitish Roy to design the complex. According to an executive, the builders kept the land, which at that time consisted of jungles and mountainous terrain, intact, without removing one tree or mountain.
The studio has a central kitchen for the various film units shooting at any given point in time.
People can visit the film sets, theme parks, amusement rides, etc. The film city also has two hotels inside it, 47 sound stages and permanent sets ranging from railway stations to temples.
