Kamal and Vijay set in Tollywood!


Kollywood is being regularly drawn towards other regions which offer locations for shooting. The exotic foreign locations have always been used for songs. But, now there seems to be a strong liking for Hyderabad among the film folk of Tamil Nadu. The reason is that it is much easier to obtain permission to shoot in the city than in the industry’s home state. There might also be the added advantage of not having huge numbers of fans crowding around the sets every time.
Movies currently being shot in Hyderabad include two of Tamil cinema’s biggest draws this year: Kamal Haasan’s Unnaipol Oruvan and Vijay’s Vettaikaran. Unnaipol Oruvan is said to be shooting some scenes in a government office while Vettaikaran is stationed in a college where scenes involving Vijay and Anushka are being shot.
Hyderabad has always been a favored location for film industries across the country, mainly because of its proximity to the huge Ramoji Rao Studios where almost any kind of scene can be shot. Now with the city also being a preferred destination, film fans from Tamil Nadu might now have to take a trip to Hyderabad to catch their favorite stars in action.
