Mumbai's Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) twin-tunnel project is causing disruptions at Film City, with about 1.6 km of road alignment cutting through its land. Shooting grounds have been affected, resulting in financial losses of up to ₹174.12 crore for Film City Corporation. To address this, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is paying ₹20 crore in rent for the use of 1,600-metre-long and 10-metre-wide land within the road alignment, as well as temporary use of Josh Maidan and Joker Maidan.
These grounds will store Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) components and excavated material until March 2029. The GMLR project involves constructing two three-lane tunnels between Film City and Amar Nagar, passing beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Once completed, the 12.20 km GMLR is expected to significantly reduce travel time between the western suburbs and Mulund, Thane, and Navi Mumbai.
