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]
