From Film City to Creative Economy: How Devendra Fadnavis’s vision for Maharashtra is building an ecosystem to lead the Global South

As Maharashtra invests in infrastructure, technology, creative industries and global connectivity, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s emerging vision offers something bigger than a media-and-entertainment strategy: the possibility of making Mumbai and Maharashtra a model creative-economy ecosystem for the Global South.

For decades, Mumbai’s identity as India’s film capital has been almost unquestioned. But what if its next chapter is bigger than cinema?

As Mumbai Film City completes 50 years, Maharashtra is entering a period in which film, technology, investment, culture, tourism, intellectual property and entrepreneurship can increasingly be viewed as parts of one economic ecosystem.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has already indicated the direction. As Maharashtra prepares with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting for WAVES 2027 in Mumbai, he has called for the next edition to grow further as a global platform bringing together films, music, gaming, animation, storytelling, artists and creators from around the world. 

That is an important shift in thinking. A Film City provides production infrastructure.

A creative-economy ecosystem connects production with technology, talent, capital, intellectual property, markets, tourism, culture, entrepreneurship and global partnerships.

Cinema and television. Music and advertising. Animation and VFX. Digital content. Gaming. Live entertainment. Finance. Startups. Investors. Technology companies. Global connectivity. Film City. IICT. WAVES.

Content + Technology + Culture + IP + Capital + Global Markets.

Mumbai Film City itself remains a formidable physical asset. The official Film City ecosystem spans more than 500 acres with studios, sets and shooting infrastructure at the heart of Mumbai’s production industry.

The next fifty years can add another layer: creative technology, venture building, globally scalable IP and international markets.
