The BJP leader said that many proposed to utilise their land for the purpose.

“We had invited proposals to provide land and we have got one from Canacona. They are eager to have the film city in their area. I am confident that in the first five years it will create at least 5 thousand jobs. It will also help boost tourism and in other areas,” he said.

He said that through film city, film culture in Goa will be developed.

“Goans having interest in film making will get scope through film city. We have many artists and talent in Goa. Hence they will get opportunities.
