Art direction department has been making steady progress in the recent Telugu films. ‘Magadheera’, ‘Arundhati’, ‘Maryada Ramanna ‘ stand as examples of how wonderful sets accentuate the mood and setting of the film. For Jr.NTR’s upcoming film ‘Brindavanam’ too the art direction team has made some tremendous work to erect the biggest house for any Telugu film so far.
Lead by Anand Sai, the most coveted art director in the industry, a huge set was erected in a four acre land on the banks of lake, at Bachupally, Hyderabad. The look and feel of the set is completely traditional, as if it has been there since ages. The total built up area itself is said to be as huge as three acres! Probably that’s the reason why the title of the film is ‘Brindavanam’!
An acre of land surrounding the set has been converted into an artificial make shift garden. While building the set is said to have cost around 2.5 crore, considering that 60% of the film shooting is being done inside and around the house, only lighting the set for the shoot had cost a bomb for the producer Dil Raju.
The entire vision for the film has been drafted by Vamsi Paidipally, and Dil Raju and Jr.NTR supported his plan immensely. Jr.NTR has been shooting for the climax sequences for the film and it is expected that the film could be released in October.
Brindavanam features Jr.NTR, Kajal Agarwal, Samantha along with a plethora of other actors. Prakash Raj and Srihari are said to have done special roles in the film.
