As the 64-year old singer finished singing the famous song from the 2001 blockbuster, others present at the meeting applauded. Adityanath unveiled an ambitious plan to set up a film city in Noida and rolled out an open offer to the entertainment fraternity to come to the state. He expressed confidence that the proposed film city would live up to the expectations of the industry, as he met some celebrities, including Narayan and actor Anupam Kher to discuss the project.

फिल्में समाज का दर्पण हैं।
फिल्मों ने हमारी संस्कृति से विश्व जगत को परिचित कराया है।
प्रदेश में फिल्म निर्माण को बढ़ावा देने व स्थानीय प्रतिभाओं को विशेष अवसर उपलब्ध कराने के उद्देश्य से @UPGovt ने राज्य में 'मॉडर्न फिल्म सिटी' व 'इंफोटेनमेंट जोन' की स्थापना का निर्णय लिया है।
