Exclusive: Why KCR prefers Rachakonda for Film City?

There seems to be more to it than what meets the eye in the selection of Rachakonda hills area by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for developing Film City.

According to inside sources, KCR has deliberately chosen Rachakonda for the Film City after coming to an understanding with media baron Ramoji Rao.

The Rachakonda hills are no doubt picturesque locations ideal for film shootings, but they are very close to Ramoji Film City.

Sources said probably KCR had an agreement with Ramoji Rao that development of film city at Rachakonda would benefit both the State government as well as RFC.

The shootings can be done in the hills and the processing of film could be done at RFC. Besides, the twin star hotels would get full occupancy with shootings in Rachakonda area.

Everybody knows, RFC is running in heavy losses now and development of film city at adjacent Rachakonda would only help Ramoji make up for the losses.

In return, KCR would get his due share. That is perhaps why KCR spent a long day at RFC immediately after selecting Rachakonda for the film city, sources said.
