Editor’s Note

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister is more than the humble saffron robe. He talks business, moving projects and attracting mega investments. Years back while visiting Mumbai to list Lucknow Municipal Bond on Bombay Stock Exchange, he met the likes of Tata Chairman, Akshay Kumar, Boney Kapoor amongst others to discuss the prospect of creating parallel movie making in North India. Now Uttar Pradesh will have an equivalent of Hollywood studios on the outskirts of Delhi NCR outshining the ageing studios of Mumbai.
