Hyderabad is all set to welcome a second Charminar not in the Old City, but on a film set.
A massive replica of the iconic monument is currently being constructed at the Aluminium Factory on the Gachibowli–Lingampally Road for the next shooting schedule of Prabhas’ upcoming pan-India film Fauzi.
The grand set has been built specifically for the film’s upcoming schedule, with Prabhas expected to join the shoot from August 3 for a 25-day schedule.
The decision to recreate Hyderabad’s most famous landmark instead of filming at the real Charminar is believed to be a practical one.
Given Prabhas’ immense stardom, shooting in the bustling Old City could have led to huge crowds, traffic congestion, and logistical challenges.
