Locations
The film was extensively shot in, Goa,
& Sikkim.
Sikkim, why there? When we know much of Tollywood popular culture,
like much of movie goers expectation, remains besotted by foreign locales.
Dharma & Raksha had the picture in mind and they headed straight
Northeast to a state sandwiched between Nepal and Bhutan and bordering China in
the north.
The cast and crew seem stayed there for 30 days and today more than
3000 stories to tell about the location shooting at 18,500 feet above sea level
at – 5 degree centigrade temperature.
With picture-postcard locales, some great hikes in the Himalayas, it a
perfect mountain escape for anyone. Naveen says “after release of Chandamam
Ravee” Sikkim will be next in the bucket-list of must-see places in India.
Buddhist monasteries, the cheerful urban centre and the food makes it a
trekker’s haven.
Tsomgo Lake is the place where the
team shot the songs. Dharma and Raksha says, they we were told to start the
shooting early, the progress was good and surprisingly by 1 p.m we were asked
by the Border Crisis Rescue team to wrap up for the day.
Reason? Poor visibility.
Imagine driving back with less than
1 meter visibility, on a 20-feet road, at 18,000 feet altitude. The thought can
churn anyone’s stomach. A cliff-hanger
kind of situation for the entire team. And on day 2, landslide – “the earth
came hurtling down right in front of us” says Priyal Gor, “it was scary, but
then there was an alternative and we made our way through it.” The crew also
shot at Hanuman Tok, a military location, because of the height and poor oxygen
few of the team members were admitted in hospital with acute mountain sickness
and hypoxia.
But, the team says, there is
something about the place. It’s never tapped by Telugu film makers and so we
could get the desired visuals for the film. The director duo says “The visuals,
for sure, will be a breath of fresh air in Chandamama Ravve.”
On a parting note Naveen says “By
far this film was the toughest in terms of getting my emotions right, hope it
translates on screen.”
