India’s biggest film studio by Nirav Shah

Cinematographer Nirav Shah who worked his magic in films like Arindhum Ariyamalum, Pattiyal, Billa, Pokkiri, Oram Po, Dhoom, and Dhoom 2 will soon build India’s biggest film studio. This film studio will be equipped with all available futuristic technologies. Nirav Shah has zeroed in on a 12-acre land off the Old Mahabalipuram Road. He also has plans to buy the nearby 8-acre plot when he expands this studio.

This state-of-the-art film studio will contain the following facilities:

Fourteen capacious A.C. halls: Film shootings held here will be saved from the hassles of providing lighting as the hall is equipped with necessary lighting paraphernalia, which will provide the desired lighting. And Nirav Shah is best-qualified to design this type of hall as he is one of the industry’s best cameramen. Any type of set may be erected here since the halls will be equipped with all that is needed for erecting sets or holding film shooting which involves cables. Of the 14 halls, two will be remarkably capacious with areas of 27,000 sq. ft and 13,000 sq. ft. All the 14 halls will have offices equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure for directors and producers.

Sound recording theatre: Extremely modern sound recording theatre equipped with imported futuristic sound recording and mixing apparatus, which will eliminate the need to go to foreign acoustic labs for such facilities.

Air-conditioning: The entire studio will be air-conditioned with state-of-the-art air conditioning machines, to ensure that not even a mote of dust enters the studio.

Makeup rooms: The studio will have 70 makeup rooms with excellent storage for makeup products and having all the latest facilities. Each makeup room will include a massage bench for tired stars to unwind.

Gym: A gym equipped with the best fitness equipment in the world for the actors to work out during their free time.

Dining hall: A large hall that can seat 500 people, which can be used by the film crew to dine. The same hall can also be used for holding parties, functions, movie launches, etc.

Theatre: A theatre with ultra-modern projector and sound system, with seating capacity for 250 people.

Laundry: A well-equipped and large laundry that can clean and ready overnight the costumes worn by the entire film crew.

Sanitation: The studio will be kept squeaky clean by the studio staff. The toilets of the studio, besides having auto-clean and auto-flush system, will also have automatic self-cleaning system that will operate every 10 minutes.

Security: A tight security system that cordons off the studio for outsiders will be provided by the studio.

There is no doubt that this studio, built at a cost of Rs. 100 crores, will become one of the best film studios in the world. The studio has been designed by Mr. Sasikanth of Space Scape. Construction work will begin next month and is to be completed in 8 months. The studio will be inaugurated in June 2009 and will be available for service from July 2009. This studio will definitely make Chennai the hub of filmmaking in India.
