Pointing out how the Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai has turned into a mess, actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt on Saturday took to her Twitter handle and made an appeal to the people from the industry to take an initiative to clean it.

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)"
