With over 800 people said to be working there, Film City has been the shooting location for almost all Bollywood films. It has all types of locations/sets available for shooting including a temple, prison, court, lake, mountains, fountains, villages, picnic spots, garden and even a man-made waterfall. After creating dreamy sets for their projects, makers of films and shows leave behind the debris of the deconstructed structures that have turned the place into a mess.

Why can’t we film folk clean up after we create these imaginary worlds on camera?Authorities don’t seem to care. But we must. (sic)"
Reacting to Pooja's tweet, a user dropped a comment suggesting: "Bollywood must act as an organization. Should have a monitoring body which ensure such things to be done by without fail by the concerned film crew. (sic)"
