Shooting in such a renowned temple comes with immense logistical challenges and restrictions, so we decided to recreate it in a studio with as much authenticity as possible.”

He added “Since Lord Padmanabha Swamy plays a central role in our story, we had to make sure the temple set looked as realistic as possible to avoid any criticism. We respect Hinduism deeply, and that sentiment is reflected throughout the film.”

The makers spent a whopping Rs 10crs for the temple set while another 30 sets to recreate 8-9 lavish sets. He said “Being a period drama, our film required rich, elaborate sets to bring the era alive and connect with audiences. In many ways, the sets became a creative choice, not just a necessity.”

Abhishek Nama shared “Kishore thoroughly understands our script and has supported it wholeheartedly, while Ashok is a master craftsman who brought our vision to life,”

He pointed out “The Madurai Meenakshi Temple was recreated for a Mahesh Babu film, and a replica of the Charminar was built two decades ago. Sets not only lend an authentic look but also give us creative freedom, unlike real locations where restrictions often stifle creativity,”

He added “Hinduism and its rich culture are the pride of India. Nagabandham will transcend language barriers with its universal and devotional theme.”
