Rajamouli’s Big Plan: Real Shoot At South Pole

Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Varanasi is getting ready for a special shooting schedule in Antarctica.

Priyanka Chopra recently shared this update during a conversation with Mahesh. She said the team has decided to shoot in real locations instead of using visual effects without fail.

The movie is directed by SS Rajamouli and aims to become the first Indian film to be shot in Antarctica near the South Pole which is crazy.

Choosing a real frozen location shows the big vision and scale of the project. Shooting in Antarctica is not easy because of extreme weather and tough conditions.

If everything goes as planned the film could create a new record in Indian cinema history.
