Mr. Sanjay Krishna Patil

Sanjay Krishna Patil, joint managing director of the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation, which manages Film City, says the safety of the workers is not the corporation's responsibility.

'The Film City has its own security system, the safety of the cine workers working in the complex is the responsibility of the producers engaging them,' Patil told IANS.

'Our security only looks after the general safety of the film complex comprising 21 studio floors and editing rooms and a film processing laboratory.When we hire these out, we do not take responsibility for the safety of the people working there,' he said.
...
Patil, however, denied the existence of a mafia in the Film City complex.

'Nobody has lodged any complaint with us so far.If somebody comes forward and gives us a written complaint, we will certainly look into the matter,' he said.

We have ploughed back the profits into the development work to give the Chitranagari a fresh look,' Film City joint managing director Sanjay Krishnaji Patil told IANS Thursday.

Patil, who looks after the day-to-day activities of the Chitranagari, revealed that though the revenue generation has increased considerably in the last three years, the management asked for financial help from the government to take the development work further.

'Since the Chitranagari is a part of the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation, it is not entitled to get any grant.Yet, the government did give us Rs.5 crore (Rs.50 million) in 2007 and this year the budget has earmarked Rs.10 crore (Rs.100 million) for the Chitranagari's development.This is what I have learnt, because the official intimation in this regard has not yet reached us,' Patil said.

The money, Patil said, would be utilized for adding more amenities to the existing infrastructure to provide filmmakers with all facilities they need during shoots.
...
Patil also disclosed that the management has already drawn up a blue print for constructing two new studios with state-of-the-art facilities. 'But all these projects on hand will be completed in a phased manner,' he said.
...
This is a major work we are going to undertake soon,' Patil informed.

Our officers will keep check," said Sanjay Patil, joint managing director of Filmcity.

Borum supplies us with professional machinery, and they are always able to meet our needs and desires," says the company's managing director, Mr Sanjay Patil, who is very proud of the fact that his company applies 15 to 17 tons of thermoplastic in every working day (a 150mm continuous line applied over 35 km) using just one Borum road marking machine.
