Ramoji Film City (RFC) near here has created a Guinness record as the world's largest film studio complex, beating Hollywood in the process.

"The largest film studio complex in the world is Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, India, which opened in 1996 and measures 674 hectares (1,666 acres) with 47 sound stages," said the certificate received by RFC.

"This recognition by Guinness is a tribute to the glory of Indian cinema," said RFC's managing director A. Ramamohana Rao.

Located about 25 km from Hyderabad, RFC offers over 500 locations. Twenty international films and nearly 40 Indian films can be produced simultaneously in the complex.

Built by media baron Ramoji Rao, RFC is considered the only facility where a filmmaker can walk in with a script and walk out with a canned film. It has attracted not only filmmakers from southern India and Bollywood but also producers from Hollywood. Several television serials, advertising films and music videos are also being shot at picturesque locations there.

India is the world's largest filmmaker with nearly 900 films being produced in the country annually.
