Indian billionaire and media tycoon, Dr Subhash Chandra has launched an incredible bid to take control of a site in the Royal Docks in London to build a £1 billion “peace theme park”. He is already in talks about buying the 62-acre Silvertown site centred on the derelict Millennium Mills building.
India's 19thrichest man, Dr Chandra said his company, the Essel Group, would invest over £1 billion in a cultural centre that highlights the achievements of Indian, as well as other ancient civilisations over 6,000 years.
He said, “There will be a recreation of how the world looked 6,000 years ago and how it has evolved. It would be depicted through mannequins and all kind of technology, 3D, 4D and animatronics.”
He further added, “We expect 10 million people a year to come to this site. It has been a passion of mine for a long time to build something like this so the coming generation can know how pastcivilisationscould live in harmony with nature and respect each other.”
