Prakasam district has some beautiful locations for shooting, said Donepudi filmmaker Dileep Raja, founder president of the Motion Picture Artists Association – Andhra Pradesh (MAA-AP), which represents more than 500 members and workers across 24 trades of Telugu film production.
On Tuesday (February 17, 2026), he told the media in Ongola: “We are shooting the film at Bhairavakona, a rock temple complex carved in the 8th century by the Pallava sculptors Derukothi and Srisailamuni by removing a single hill near the waterfalls that tumble from a height of 200 meters.”
He said the film crew had already visited the largest Buddhist site built at Chandavaram in the 2nd century on the banks of the Gundlakamma river. They also visited the Sri Bala Tripura Sundari Devi Temple at Tripurantakam which was built on the Srichakra during the Kakatiya period.
Mr. Dileep Raja said that these locations are most suitable for the shooting of their film and sought permission from Andhra Pradesh Film Development Corporation. He said that the song is being shot at Pakala, Kothapatnam and Ramapuram beaches.
Director Achana Srinivasa Yadav, producer Ravuri Suresh Babu and PRO Manchala Kishore attended the meeting along with him.
