Maharashtra Plans Fifth Film City in Ratnagiri's Guhagar Taluka
Maharashtra plans to develop its fifth Film City on 125 acres in Ratnagiri's Guhagar taluka, aiming to enhance film production infrastructure along the Konkan coast.

The facility is expected to include studios, crew accommodation, and shooting locations to address current logistical challenges and boost local employment. The plan follows similar developments in Goregaon, Nagpur, Nashik, and Malad.
