Shantaram was the one who guided and executed Film city. Dadasaheb Phalke was the first producer of India. So, in his memory, we named Dadasaheb Phalke as the father of the Indian film industry.

History of Mumbai Film City

It was the beginning of the Cinema in the year 1896 also when at the  Hotel of Watson Bombay, the first feature film was screened. Dadasaheb Phalke produced The First length motion origin of India, introduced as The Indian Cinema. Dadasaheb has produced more films. Some of those are Raja Harishchandra, in which he cast only male actors because females were not used to casting at that time because of some backward mentality. The film Raja Harishchandra in 1913 got released.
