Chief Minister says Hyderabad and Netflix share global vision, welcomes company’s new facility to Telangana.
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Thursday said the state government aimed to attract all Fortune 500 companies to the proposed Bharat Future City and invited Netflix to establish its corporate office in the city.
Inaugurating the new office of Netflix Eyeline Studios in Hyderabad, he said the government was ready to provide land in Bharat Future City if the company chose to set up a larger facility. “Telangana is ready to host global companies and ensure full protection for investments,” he said.
The new facility will serve as a hub for visual effects and virtual production for Netflix films and web series produced for global audiences. Revanth Reddy said the company had chosen Hyderabad because of the state government’s forward-looking policy environment and investor-friendly ecosystem.
Describing the entry of Netflix’s Eyeline Studios into Hyderabad as a major milestone for the state’s entertainment and creative industry, he said it marked the “arrival of Hollywood in Hyderabad.”
Welcoming Netflix and Eyeline Studios on behalf of the Telangana government, the Chief Minister said the collaboration would take Hyderabad’s entertainment ecosystem to the global stage. He said the new studio was expected to lead to more global content showcasing Telangana’s culture, traditions and storytelling.
Revanth Reddy said Netflix’s journey from a DVD rental company to a global OTT platform and media studio was inspiring, and added that Hyderabad was also emerging as an international hub across sectors. He said the presence of Netflix and Eyeline Studios would create opportunities for local creative and technical talent and help take Telangana’s stories to global audiences.
Recalling the evolution of the Telugu film industry, he said cinema had undergone major technological changes over the decades. He said N.T. Rama Rao and Akkineni Nageswara Rao had played a key role in shifting the film industry from Chennai to Hyderabad, and added that Netflix’s arrival was another milestone in the city’s cinematic journey.
The Chief Minister also referred to the state’s focus on strengthening sports infrastructure and said Netflix, which had recently expanded its sports-related content globally, could collaborate with Telangana in promoting sports. He added that the government was planning to establish a sports university.
He said Eyeline Studios would strengthen Hyderabad’s Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics sector and support advanced skilling initiatives and high-quality employment opportunities for local creative professionals.
Reiterating the government’s vision for Bharat Future City, Revanth Reddy said it would house major global companies, including those in the Fortune-500 list. “While Netflix gathers talent and content from across the world for global audiences, Hyderabad connects opportunities and talent globally,” he said.
IT and industries minister D. Sridhar Babu said Netflix’s decision to establish a production and innovation footprint in Hyderabad was in line with the government’s vision of making the city a global storytelling hub. He said the state was focusing on skill development and building a strong talent pool in animation, visual effects, gaming and comics to support the growing AVGC ecosystem.
