It has been over 45 years in the studio business and has served as the grounds for the production of over 5,000 movies, ads, web series, and TV serials. It also offers specially designed spaces for post-production facilities and houses a film school- Annapurna College of Film And Media.  Reportedly, the cost of the facility is over ₹200 crore.
