Swastik Productions, an Indian production company, founded by Siddharth Kumar Tewary that has produced series like Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, Begusarai, Mahabharat, and RadhaKrishn, has planned an end-to-end studio Umargam, Gujarat, to facilitate shooting for large-format shows. The facility includes infrastructure to shoot and crews to stay on the ground.
“The idea was to build something on the lines of Universal Studios in the US, especially to develop and shoot high-budget historical and mythological shows,” said Tewary who has invested ₹100 crore into the project. Portions of Akshay Kumar-starrer Ram Setu were shot on the premises of the facility, Tewary added.
