While it's great to discuss film hubs, I hope the discussions also touched on sustainable development and not just cutting trees for new studios. Our environment matters too. Just a thought.

Dhurandhar crossing 700 crores!? That's insane box office power. Sanjay sir's role as a Pakistani officer must have been impactful. Wishing him the best for his ventures in Andhra as well.

CMs should focus on core issues like farmers and water first. Film industry meetings are for photo-ops. Real development is needed in villages, not just in studios. 🙏

As someone from Vizag, I welcome this! If it brings more film shootings to our beautiful beaches and hills, it will boost tourism big time. More chai and snack stalls will also get business!

Interesting cross-industry collaboration. The Indian film sector's growth is remarkable. A dedicated hub could streamline production and attract international projects too. Smart economic move.
