Ramoji Film City Hyderabad

The Ramoji Film City is located about 35 kilometers from the Hyderabad city. A
tour to the Ramoji Film Studio will tell you why is it acknowledged by the
Guinness Book of World Records as one of the largest film studios in the world.
The studio lives upto its name of a "city" as it is spread over a vast area of
around 2500 acres. You feel as if you have entered a new city all together with
hills, gardens, lakes, and at the same time flanked with spotless modern
buildings.

The Ramoji Film City doubles both as a tourist attraction and
major film-making facility. The city looks like the product of an alliance
between the famous magician P.C. Sorkar and Vishwakarma, the God of Architecture
and Engineering. It is India's answer to the Universal Studios in Hollywood, in
every aspect. It is a place where realism obtains all the traits of enchantment
and inconceivable. Today, it is the filmmakers' first choice as it is a
single-window, press-button facility that opens up an unlimited arena of
creativity for every major and minor aspect of film production.

As some
famous directors and producers put it, "The Film City has all facilities at one
place with latest technology and advanced equipment." The studio's brochure
highlights its dictum as "Make the Magic Happen". The magic however happens
impulsively without human intrusion as though it is the key ingredient of the
entire project. Yet, everything in the studio is real, whether it is the 50
studio floors, outdoor locations, high-tech laboratories, state-of-the-art
technology and the lush green landscape and scenery.
