Suniel Shetty after inaugurating the studio said, "NK Studios is a unique facility and is a God send for film, audio, and TV production houses who will get a one-stop shop for all their production needs. It is not only  going to be an asset for the region’s entertainment industry but will also attract filmmakers from the Mumbai and South Indian film industries, due to inherent advantages like lower cost, pollution, and traffic congestion free environment, etc.”

It is to be noted that this integrated film studio is designed under the guidance of Suniel Shetty and executed by well-known Director and Production designer Rajesh Latkar.

Sharing her vision, NK Studios, MD Naina Kukreja said: “A thought has bloomed into a reality today. We have put in our best efforts to create NK Studios, under the excellent mentorship of Suniel Shetty. NK Studios houses a completely air-conditioned shooting floor of 120’x70’ size with 11 makeup rooms, a PCR room, a wardrobe room, a production team room, a Director Room, and catwalks.”

Naina added, “It has more than 29 locations with facades like Police Station, Hospital, School, Office, and Corporate Office, besides a huge space created for the street market. It also holds a café which has a canteen, an outdoor café, a huge kitchen, and a rooftop restaurant.”

NK Studios’ young and dynamic Executive Director, Simran Kukreja said: “NK Studios has other locations of a Victorian and a modern look bungalow with a bar and a swimming pool within its premises. Lawns are pristine with water fountains and maintained to provide another location for shoots.”

CEO Mandeep Kukreja said that NK Studios aims at transforming the Chandigarh region and Punjab into a preferred shooting location, adding that “We have left all the facades open. Production houses can create their own themes as per the requirement of their film. Giving ready-made sets can limit the options.”

Sharing his thoughts, Rajesh Latkar said, “NK Studios offers more than what we need to make a decent budget movie. I am sure NK Studios is going to be a big asset for the regional and mainstream Hindi cinema."

“Additionally, we also have dormitory facilities for the staff. The idea is to make a state-of-the-art film city in Punjab. Besides the provision within the studio, we have open land all around, which is also available for shoots, if required. Later, we will develop and expand it further,” summed up Naina Kukreja.
