INTRODUCTION
DEVELOPMENT OF FILM CITY AT CHANDIGARH

A film studio (also known as movie studio or

simply studio) is a major entertainment company or
motion picture company that has its own privately
owned studio facility or facilities that are used to
make films, which is handled by the production
company. The majority of firms in the entertainment
industry have never owned their own studios, but
have rented space from other companies.
