MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government has appointed award-winning art director Nitin Chandrakant Desai to develop the Film City situated at Goregaon.

The makeover will see the formation of a Bollywood museum in the premises of the studio. The construction work in this regard will commence next year.

Since the last few years, the state government has been mulling with the idea to prop up Film City. However, no concrete plans could be arrived at. Finally, everything has been decided.

“Yes, Nitin Desai has been appointed as a consultant and will draw up the development plan of Film City including the setting up of a Bollywood museum,” Film City managing director Shyam Tagade said.

At present, there are 16 studios and 40 outdoor locations in the Film City campus spread over 520 acres.
