History

Padmalaya Movies

Padmalaya Movies, a film production company, was established by Telugu actor Krishna and his brothers in 1970. The first film made on the banner was Agni Pariksha (1970).[3][5] Later, Padmalaya produced Mosagallaku Mosagadu, first Telugu western film in 1971.[6]

Padmalaya Studios

Krishna was given 9.5 acres of land in Shaikpet Mandal in 1982 at a price of ₹8,500 per acre, by the then state government of Andhra Pradesh. Padmalaya Studios was opened in November 1984.[7] The first film shot in the studio was Simhasanam (1986).[4] Currently, the studio stands on about 4 acres.[2]

Controversy

Krishna was given 9.5 acres of land in Shaikpet Mandal in 1982 at a price of ₹8,500 per acre, by the then state government of Andhra Pradesh. According to sources, the market price of the land at that time was approximately ₹5 lakh per acre.[2] The 9.5 acres was part of the 50-acre land that was given by the Marri Chenna Reddy government to the Telugu film industry to lure them to move base from Madras (now Chennai) to Hyderabad.

The land was given strictly for a film facility, under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana area) alienation of state lands and land revenue rules of 1975. But the owners soon sold 5.3 acres to third parties. Currently, the studio stands on just about 4 acres.[2]
