This approximately 6.5-acre site of Sarathi film studio has been lying vacant for years with new metro station coming nearby made it possible to explore feasibility and design study on the potential of the site. Thus, a program of 160 keys four-star hotel, 60,000 sq. m mall and film museum were established.  The space planning is based on providing an enriching shopping experience in a theatrical setting to suggest the film history and legacy of the Sarathi Studios site. Various engaging spaces like sky theatre, mega screen for open park movies/cricket matches, high-end, high-tech HAAT (Indian showplace of craft and culture), maximized retail space, combination of interior mall and exterior arcade, galleria with natural light and Sky Park bar with views of Hyderabad have been incorporated into this 82,000 sq. m. development.

 

The flat grade along the site creates a strong connection with the people walking along the street. The anchor tenants are on both ends of each floor plate in clear view from the entrance located at the north-west corner. The main entrance is located at the ground level and draws people into the complex from both street and parking levels. The anchor stores within the galleria are on multi-level in height and will be located at the building ends to move shoppers through the complex. The various media mesh wall which attracts visitors with current screening trailers and advertisements.
