Shooting Update

And if he had to go back, he would probably save another 10-15% of everybody’s time, money, and energy. He went on to say, “This is probably an expensive learning curve for me, but thanks to everyone’s cooperation, About 600 crew members were there, and 197 people from Thailand were working on set. I’m really thankful to everyone for coming and spending close to five months there and giving their time and energy to the film. At one point, we also used about 200 local Maori people and crew. Maori culture and our culture are very similar; some are like family to me now.'”

Lord Of The Rings Connection

In the same interview, Vishu revealed the story of Kannappa offering a glimpse. He said, “I’ve seen the Telugu version of the 1976 film Bhakta Kannappa many times and in 2015, when director Tanikella Bharani told me the story he had, I was keen. We worked on the script for several months, after which he said he wasn’t the right guy to direct this film as my vision was to produce it on a large, lavish scale. He was more comfortable making smaller films. So, I bought the rights to the film and decided to produce it. I loved Lord of The Rings (LOTR), and I was wondering if I could incorporate the story I grew up with and the LOTR outlook.”
