MUMBAI:
Head of Film City Shyam Tagde has said that he would
request the Maharashtra state government to use the
recovered land of Subhash Ghai's Whistling Woods for
the culture department's ambitious plan of setting up
a Bollywood museum.
"The
project report of the museum is almost ready. If approved
by the government, the plan on using the land could
be envisaged," he said.
According
to Tagde, the museum will act as an added attraction
for tourists and help the government generate revenue.
The
Supreme Court had suggested that the government could
lease out the land by inviting bids at market rates.
The
state government has already initiated procedure of
recovering 12.5 acres of land from the institute after
the Supreme Court ruling last Thursday.
