Two years ago, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath too had expressed his desire to build the biggest film city in Noida. Just a few days ago, the UP Chief Minister floated global bids for the development of the project near Noida. 

Yogi Adityanath had recently visited Mumbai and had a meeting with film personalities to discuss his film city project. The meeting was attended by actors Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff among others.
