Sagar Enterprise mulls film city in Uttarakhand

Sagar Enterprise, a company founded by the late Bollywood producer Ramanand Sagar, is planning to set up a multipurpose film city in Uttarakhand with an investment of Rs 250 crore.

Prem Sagar, the head of Sagar Enterprise, met Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Prakash Pant during the weekend and said the company would submit a project report to the government on the investment proposal.

Sagar Enterprise is already developing a film city in Vadodara in Gujarat.

Sagar told Pant that his company would like to set up the film city somewhere along the river Ganga but has not identified land so far. "It could be either Rishikesh or Haridwar," Pant said.

Sagar said the company was looking for 100 acres for the film city, which will be the first such in the hill state. Pant said the government wants such proposals to come to Uttarakhand because it can give a boost to tourism also.
