A few argue that the cities of Amaravati and Vizag deem suitable to play host to the film industry while Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu too, has apparently invited to set up film studios in the state to little avail. However, if the latest speculations are anything to go by, popular actor and politician Nandamuri Balakrishna would soon be setting up a film studio in Vizag.

Reportedly, Balakrishna has also received a go-ahead by the government and would soon be getting his plans for the studio underway. It has also been reported that AVM Productions would be establishing its film studio in the city.
