Shiv Sena Dig At Yogi Adityanath: "Will Yogi Ji Talk To South Film Industry Or Just Mumbai"?

New Delhi: The Shiv Sena today attacked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his attempts to reach out to Bollywood to make movies in his state on the day-long visit to Mumbai.
"It is not easy to shift Mumbai's film city to another place. The film industry in south India is also big.

There are film cities in West Bengal and Punjab, too. Will Yogi ji visit these places, too, and talk to directors and artistes there? Or is he going to do it only in Mumbai?" Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut asked today in Mumbai, according to ANI.

Sanjay Raut's statement comes on the day when Mr. Adityanath is set to meet a delegation of the Bollywood personalities,inculding filmmaker Subhash Ghai and Boney Kapoor, to discuss the future of the proposed film city in his state.

Yogi Adityanath in September had unveiled an ambitious plan to set up the film city in Gautam Buddh Nagar, reported PTI. Reportedly the government has approved such a large facility in Sector 21 along the Yamuna Expressway.

Yogi's visit to Mumbai is also aimed at seeking investments from Mumbai-based firms for Uttar Pradesh's development. He early Wednesday morning rang the opening bell at BSE, marking the listing of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation bond.

Uttar Pradesh CM Adityanath who arrived in Mumbai Tuesday evening has already met artistes like Kailash Kher and actor Akshay Kumar.

The Congress for instance on Tuesday alleged a conspiracy to shift the Bollywood to the northern sate "...the BJP is now readying a script to take away a slice of Bollywood in the name of the Uttar Pradesh government...we won't let it happen..." Maharashtra PWD Minister Ashok Chavan tweeted.

"Yogi ji may be coming here to study the film city and facilities being provided to the industry, but nobody can take the film city and its glamour away from Mumbai," Mr Patil told reporters in Mumbai.
