BR Shetty plans to set up multiplex at Udupi

The Rs 70,000 crore Project Indywood aims at initiating 10,000 new 4K projection multiplex screens, 100,000 2K/4K projection home cinemas, 8K/4Kfilm studios, 100 animation/VFX studios and film schools conforming to international standards.

I am more interested in 'Film City' than multiplexes. But hope multiplex will give boost to animation industry by reserving enough office space for animation studios.
Karnataka government on one hand talks about eco-system. But on the other hand wants to promote a film city in a city where film industry does not even exist. We have eco-system ready with coastalwood. And coastal Karnataka can easily expand to both Kannada & Hindi films production also as we have enough stars & directors in both Bollywood & Sandalwood. But strange are the ways in which politics work.
What we need to produce is very good Hindi Script Writers so that we can contribute to Hindi Film, Comics, Cartoons Industry in a big way and earn enough from it. Don't we have enough people knowing Hindi? And we need then dubbing artists also. Hope Film Schools planned along with multiplex will achieve this.
By 2020, India will be the only country in the world to have 1,000 8K screens: Indywood founder Sohan Roy

Sohan Roy added, "BR Shetty was the only billionaire, who attended the 2nd edition of Indywood Film Carnival last year. He already announced Rs 1,000 crore movie, which is going to be the biggest budget film ever made in Indian cinema. He has also announced to build the 8K cinema in his native Udupi, Karnataka and it is first ever theatre in India. This is also the first of its kind of cinema hall."

Whether 'School of Film Studies' is also included in the plan for Udupi?
