Hyderabad: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is set to make a landmark investment of nearly ₹10,000 crore in Telangana, with plans to develop a 500-acre integrated township and a world-class film studio complex, according to sources aware of the development.
The proposed project is expected to significantly strengthen Telangana’s position as a leading destination for film production and media infrastructure in India. The large-scale development will include cutting-edge film studios, sound stages, post-production and VFX facilities, along with residential, commercial, hospitality, and recreational zones within a self-sustained township.
Sources indicate that discussions between Salman Khan’s team and Telangana government officials have been progressing, with the project aligning closely with the state’s vision to attract high-value investments in the media and entertainment sector. Telangana has been actively promoting itself as a global filmmaking hub through policy support, infrastructure development, and investor-friendly initiatives.
Industry experts believe the project could create thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, boost local businesses, and draw international film productions to the region. The planned film studio is expected to meet global standards, making it competitive with international film cities.
For Salman Khan, the investment marks a major expansion beyond his on-screen career, reinforcing his role as a key stakeholder in India’s evolving entertainment ecosystem. Once completed, the project is likely to emerge as one of the largest private film infrastructure ventures in the country, further enhancing Telangana’s growing reputation as a cinema and creative industry powerhouse.
