With AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy officially announcing that Visakhapatnam will be the executive capital of the state, not only people but also film celebrities are welcoming the move. They are of the opinion that Visakhapatnam will no longer be backward anymore and many vacant lands are there from Vizag, Kottavalasa and Araku.

Since those lands are viable for farming, AP government may hold negotiations with ITDA to handover those lands to Tollywood.
