Maharashtra Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar has directed the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to scrap the Rs 300 crore Bollywood theme park proposed to be built under a Metro rail corridor amid opposition to the project by some citizens groups.

Shelar, who conceptualised the idea of this theme park, directed the planning and development authority for the metropolitan region of Mumbai to scrap the project proposed to be built under the metro corridor between Bandra West and Juhu.
