Created by the Tamil Nadu government it is a recently built place, especially for the thriving film industry in Chennai. It has many film studios and a film school. This complex has remarkable outdoor settings. Known to the world over for its film industry, MGR Film City is a special delight in Chennai. In the sprawling Tharamani area, MGR Film city houses various locations and settings for film shootings besides dubbing and re-recording theatres. It is the only one of Chennai's big Tamil film studios that opens its doors to visitors. Several sets of artificial scenery like forests, waterfalls, market places etc., are built here to serve as background for the shooting of films. |

It is open between 8 a.m. and 8
p.m. In the area allocated for MGR Film City, 24.78 acres of land have
remained unutilised. To develop a suitable park, this area is placed at
the disposal of Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation Limited (TIDCO),
which will be the nodal agency for the Knowledge Park development.
Information and Tourism Department and TIDCO will demark the specific area
to be carved into the Knowledge Park and also ensure that proper access to
this area through the existing Film City is developed.
