[By Cerius Shah] The Andhra Pradesh government in collaboration with FXlabs, Suresh productions, Gemini TV and DQ Entertainment is attempting a Media City of sorts. Around 100 to 200 acres of land in and around Hyderabad will be ear marked for the proposed Digital Entertainment City. Within the confines of these gaming, film production houses, music studios and training academies amongst others will be built. A team has been formed to oversee the project with an expected start date sometime in June.
Hyderabad is home to big studio houses that power Tollywood, the Telegu cinema industry, second in size to Bollywood. It has a thriving developer community where, according to legend, cat calls for PHP developers are answered in hordes. More on statements by secretary to the AP government here at Techtree.
