Local elders are proposing to establish a 100-acre film studio, aiming to leverage the upcoming Amaravati capital's construction.

Recent meetings with Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan and plans to meet Chief Minister Chandrababu reflect their proactive approach.

They suggest the government purchase land for the studios rather than offering it for free. Godavari has long been a favored shooting location, dating back to the eras of NTR, ANR, and Krishna.

The region's scenic beauty, including Papikondalu, is seen as advantageous for tourism and industry growth. Elders are optimistic about government support under the coalition, anticipating further developments soon.
