MUMBAI: Head of Film City Shyam Tagde has said that he would request the Maharashtra state government to use the recovered land of Subhash Ghai‘s Whistling Woods for the culture department‘s ambitious plan of setting up a Bollywood museum.

"The project report of the museum is almost ready. If approved by the government, the plan on using the land could be envisaged," he said.

According to Tagde, the museum will act as an added attraction for tourists and help the government generate revenue.

The Supreme Court had suggested that the government could lease out the land by inviting bids at market rates.

The state government has already initiated procedure of recovering 12.5 acres of land from the institute after the Supreme Court ruling last Thursday.
