The International Film City is being developed in Sector 21 under the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA). The construction of the Film City will be carried out by Bayview Bhutani Film City Pvt Ltd—a consortium led by renowned Bollywood filmmaker
and the Bhutani Group.
In its first phase, the project will cover 230 acres and involve an investment of Rs 1,510 crore. It will include the construction of multiple studios and the film institute, expected to be completed within the next three years.
"The film institute will be one of its kind. In the first phase, it will be built over an area of 3 lakh square feet. The institute will have modern classrooms, studios, editing suites, and a VR lab equipped with the latest technologies. Students will get hands-on experience working on real film projects and will also have access to the latest film-making technologies," said Rajeev Arora, general manager of the company.
He added, "Local youth will be given priority in both training and employment. Special preference will be given to the youth from the Yamuna Expressway region and nearby areas, while young people from other parts of Uttar Pradesh will also benefit."
He also mentioned that training local youth and offering them jobs will be more cost-effective than hiring staff from Mumbai. This will help create jobs within the film city in areas like studios, production, and more.

The institute will offer courses in acting, story writing, script writing, editing, camera operation, lighting, spot boy duties, VFX, fashion, and mass communication. In addition, it will provide training and facilities related to film music. There will be workshops, internships, and guest lectures in partnership with production houses, allowing students to learn directly from industry experts.
The Film City will also host movie premieres, so that production houses don't have to travel to other cities to launch their films.
A comprehensive resource centre will be set up with films, scripts, and academic materials, which will serve as a valuable asset for both students and filmmakers.
The institute will also organise film festivals, exhibitions, and competitions, giving students opportunities to showcase their talent.
The campus will also include facilities like hostels, a cafeteria, a health centre, and recreational areas for students.

Meet man who won Rs 5 crore on KBC, then lost all his money, got addicted to alcohol, sold milk for...,he is...
Luck is one thing that can either make or break a person's life. If your luck plays along, you can become a millionaire, and if that luck doesn't work in your favor, you can lose all the money you earned in a matter of seconds. Something similar happened with KBC winner Sushil Kumar. He was the first contestant in the history of the Amitabh Bachchan-led quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) to win a whopping amount of Rs 5 crore in 2011. On his historic win, Amitabh called him the 'real-life Slumdog Millionaire.' However, little did Sushil know that his life was about to change — and not for the better. He became an example of riches to rags and lost all his money. Let's know more about Sushil Kumar. Who is Sushil Kumar? Sushil Kumar, 41, from Champaran, Bihar, appeared as a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 5. He correctly answered the final question of the quiz show and won a whopping Rs 5 crore, becoming a crorepati overnight. When he was asked what he would do with the money, he expressed his desire to become an IAS officer. However, after his big win, Sushil vanished into thin air and no one knew what he was up to. Later in 2020, he once again surfaced on social media and left people shocked. In a social media post, he wrote, '2015-2016 was the most challenging time of my life. I was not able to understand what to do. Being a local celebrity, I used to have programs somewhere or the other in Bihar for ten to fifteen days a month. Therefore, studies gradually got sidelined. Also, at that time, I used to be very serious about the media and the media also used to ask me every few days what I was doing. For this, I used to do this business sometimes, that business sometimes without any experience so that I could tell the media that I am not useless. The result was that the business used to sink after a few days!' Not just that, he also used to sell milk to meet his daily needs. Sushil Kumar Got Scammed In a post, Sushil also revealed how he got scammed after winning Rs 5 crore. He wrote, 'After KBC, I used to participate in about 50 thousand programs in a month. Because of this, many times people have cheated me, which I came to know about later after donating.' Addiction to Cigarettes, Alcohol Sushil got addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. He also tried his luck in directing but failed. Now, as per media reports, Sushil Kumar has been appointed as a government psychology teacher and currently teaches students of Class 11 and 12.
