As per some recent market reports, Rajasthan is all set to get its first film city soon. This film city will be constructed in Sumerpur at an incurred cost of around INR 250 Crores. It will be constructed on a 500 Bigha land lying between Koliwada and Jakhoda near Sumerpur town. Owing to the natural beauty of the area, it can also emerge as an important venue for tourism.

Regarding the establishment of this film city, an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) is likely to be signed between the state government and a Mumbai-based company, this November. The foundation stone of the film city is likely to be laid before March 2018.
