Ramoji Film City (RFC) is the world’s largest integrated film studio complex, at nearly 1,666 acres. It is also one of Asia’s most popular tourism and recreation centres. Opened in 1996, it is located about 25 km from Hyderabad, India. Established by the Ramoji Group, RFC offers comprehensive and international-standard pre-production, production, and post-production resources for film makers.

RFC offers over 500 set locations. Twenty international films, and nearly forty Indian films can be produced simultaneously in the complex. It has attracted not only filmmakers from Kollywood and Bollywood, but also producers from Hollywood. The RFC infrastructure includes: custom-designed locations & mock-ups, set construction, properties & costumes, shooting stages, cameras and equipment, audio post-production, digital post-production / SFX as well as film processing.

Every year, over a million tourists visit the complex creating revenues in billions of rupees (INR).
