The film industry in south India is also big, there're film cities in WB & Punjab too. Will Yogi Ji also visit these places & talk to directors/artists there or is he going to do so only in Mumbai?” Recently, Akshay Kumar had met CM Yogi Adityanath during his Mumbai visit to discuss his upcoming film ‘Ram Setu’, which he had announced on Diwali. Apart from this, actress Kangana Ranaut has also extended her support to the UP CM through her tweet.  Yogi Adityanath is all set to meet several Bollywood celebrities as a part of his process to set up a new film city in Uttar Pradesh. According to reports, he is expected to meet various industrialists and Bollywood personalities over his two-day visit, including N Chandrasekaran of Tata Sons, Niranjan Hiranandani, Subhash Ghai, Boney Kapoor, Bhushan Kumar and Randeep Hooda.
