Comedian-actor Rajpal Yadav on UP governments decision to set up film city on Yamuna Expressway

Rajpal Yadav
A popular choice for comic roles in Bollywood, Rajpal Yadav is not amused by the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to build the "biggest film city in India" on the Yamuna Expressway. The comedian-actor, who features in the upcoming Varun Dhawan-starrer Coolie No 1, points out that there are several better alternatives in his home state to lure filmmakers.
Yadav feels the chosen site is devoid of natural scenic environment. "It is a great idea, but the location is far from ideal. Apart from the Yamuna river, you will only find buildings. There is also an international airport coming up at Jewar, which is in the vicinity. You cannot be shooting amidst the hustle and bustle of a growing industrial zone."
