Imagine a huge movie-making town is being built in a place called Greater Noida, in Uttar Pradesh.
This will be a place where movies and TV shows can be made.
It's like a giant playground for filmmakers!
There will be special studios, like one that is underwater, and schools to learn how to make movies.
It's so big, it will take eight years to finish.
