Movie Tidbits
June 13th to 25Th June Plan and Execution The first point of take off when Australia was decided by Hero and Producer Mr.Akkineni.Ravishankar Prasad and Mr.P.kiran, it was conveyed to me by the Production Controller Mr.V.Prasad and spontaneously I told them we have to shoot in Gold coast which is a amazing place in the continent, This place is the second largest place after South Africa where foreign crew come to shoot from all over the world more over our decision was endorsed in the meeting again with the producer because this marvel place called gold coast is not exploited from the Indian market ,no one has gone there for shooting we where the first one like Christopher Columbus who found America. Gold coast Tourism road show in Hyderabad made us think which regenerated us to fix Gold coast as our base for our Australia shoot. The visa procedure is a long procedure and myself and the Production Controller where working round the clock for 30 days to achieve it because there was a time difference involved between two countries atlas we had done it, even the producer got involved and we met the top Authority in South India that is the consul General Mr.Aminur Rahaman in Chennai. We where corresponding with copies of all our email from Immigration minister to local chiefminsters putting everyone in the loop to achieve this marvel which we feel today as A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Locations – Warner Brothers – Sea World and Movie World It was a great help and support given by the Tourism Gold coast and Warner brothers directly we put them all in the loop. Warner brothers helped us in giving the great Sea World and Movie World for our 2 days shoot which covers all the comedy characters parade from Scooby do to Batman and there structure, this will be a great feast of children’s the hero had told us that song is dedicated for children’s , and we hope 100 percent all will enjoy this 2 ,marvel places from 6 to 60.The movie world all the sets of very famous films from Dirty Harry to the latest Scooby do sets where the the films where shot, We filmed in front ,it was a glory to go to that place.

Burlington Beach and Bay We shot 2 days in the World famous Burlington Beach which has a Gigantic rock with top Models Dancers of Goldcoast,this coast is very famous because the from this coast we can see Sharks and whales Directly and if we go 10 mts in the Sea aslo,This sea is highly volatile which has hot currents which can pull us into the sea for 4 kms sometimes , Goldcaost tourism has provided swimming zones and separated by nets called shark net soothe shark and Whale s cant come into the bay, The sand is pure white as silk and when we heard all this we where exited and the Megastar hearing was happy to shoot in such a great place like this, this is the most , exotic beach of Goldcoast.When we where shooting also the coast guard where telling us few whales are spotted, near the coast from where we where shooting, we nor Hero dint care our shoot went on and other day we shot the Marriage set with the old characters combine and the Hero and heroine ,Hero dressed up in white and white he looked liked the prince of Whales, the whole set up was looking glittery and we could see the producer money getting a great value. The super scène was the old characters where shots and beach dress chasing 2 bikini clad super models in Marble bay is a awesome laughter. The Q1 Building The Worlds Tallest Q1 residential building in Gold coast, Queensland was a place we shot one day with 14 females top dancers again with full set of lights, from this building we can see one side the city and other side we can see the Marble Bay of the Goldcaost, people surfing in the sea, Helicopters flying below as other missions and coast guard. We where on the top and everything right from flying aero planes where below us, this will be a spectacular view for the audience and megastar fans. The gold coast Tourism has got us permission on this marvel, where no shooting is performed. The Aqua Duck Shoot We one day shot in the Aqua Duck, this is a military bus which travels on Land and Sea ,like a James bond film, This was used in the World war 2 ,Now this is used for Tourism purpose, this was a amazing shooting , right from 6 to 60 Years all will enjoy this in the screen, the cameraman had pictureisred in such way the duck bus with the Megastar and Heroine traveling in land and then slowly getting into water and sailing in water will be a stunning experience even to the audience, to see this directly it remembered us like seeing the James Bond film, The spy who loved me where the James bond Mr.Roger Moore Travels in this type of car. This was a great experience claimed our Mega and he did this is own style and he told the heroine not be Jittery he gave confidence to her when it traveled in water. Abbots Park This Park is lush green, the green and wonder trees here is something very different, the lake near by it is a spectacular view, the cameraman with his camera had a real feast here, we did lots of steps of Mega which will turn the youth to dance when they really see this film on 27th July. The trees here are very unique the lush greenness is like crystal clear and we thought this type of green should be in the song, so this was added, Right from the twigs and branches and ground level everything was a marvel here. We shot one day. Marina Mirage – Luxury Yatch Harbour The Shoot in Luxury yatch harbor with 14 female dancers will be a spectacular because the Yatch standing there are in 100 s of models and sizes each value of million of dollars, which was unique, the 14 white Dancers and Mega along with the Heroine singing in the song Bhoogalam antha Sanchilona was great. The fast steps he made was amazing , we can still see a Mega who acted 15 years back like a dynamite he was exploding in each and every step, this fast steps done here will stay in all cinema goers mind. The yatches which stood here was top top class considering Mauritius and Maledives.There where more than 100 yatches here which where like huge set erected and the Australian blue sky will be real feast for the audience. We shot one day here. Luxury Yatch shoot - In Middle of the Ocean This was a greatest experience, the water where very rough, and it was a real sea with full of sharks and whale points, we had shot 1 full day in this great historic place and this place is near Kangaroo Island, The cost of the yatch minimum will be 8 million dollars which hired by us, and we shoot the sequence, We also hired another boat in the middle of the sea and used a jimmy zip which was a mind blowing experience shooting with zip crane for quality and make the film watchers happy, this was tedious exercise in the middle of the sea the Australian crew as well as our crew and with the ease of our Mega did this like walking in the clouds. This will be a spectacular shot, we have done Yatch shoot s in Mauritius, Phuket Etc but this Yatch and this shoot will stand up in Cinema history, it was amazing it can’t be compared at all. This you have to personally see it, it can’t be explained more. © Copyright by Telugucinema.com
My View There are many more wonders like the above mentioned but I have given the only few of this ,I felt proud working for this great movie ,after 3 years I am working with Megastar and thanks to the producer Mr.Ravishankar and Mr.Kiran and the Production controller Mr. Prasad who had given me this great opportunity, this last 3 months it was hectic for me by doing Nagarjuna s Don in Europe,Kalyamram/Samudra film Vijayadasami in Europe,Raviteja s Dubai Seenu in Dubai and Europe,Dilraju/prabhas s Munna in Phuket Island,Director Evv Sathyanarayana s Film In Thailand along with this 4 kannada films and as a finishing touch Shankar dada Zindabad, it was pride to do all this big films in this season. Thanks to my producers. Conclusion There was lot of good hearts who helped this shoot to happen they where The responsible govt officals, Warner brothers, Goldcoast Tourism, Our Australian Line Producers George and his team, Singapore Airlines, Consul General Of Australia, Immigration dept, Film Associations of Australia, Queensland Government, Australian Consulate, Q1 Management, Sahara Global and their staff who slogged night n day, and the production controller Mr. Prasad etc etc..Thanks to all of them, and the Producers last but not least who had told me to give 5 star treatment staying in places like Legends hotel and the Conrad Jupiter’s where the Hindi crew even will think twice to stay from Megastar to the last technicians regarding Hotel, food, Transport and all allied services, who never compromised on anything, the shooting needs from Jimmy zip to all equipments. The good heart and the money what they spend will be rewarded by the heroes that’s the film viewers on 27th July onwards. This was a blessing, honestly to work with this great team of great technicians like chota again and ultimately with Mega.
So Many Astronauts have gone to moon and so many spacecrafts have landed in moon but people only remember Neal Amstrong, Apollo 11 and the man who made it happen John F Kennedy the Amercain president who incited this, like that. In future Golcoast may see lot of shoots but one thing is sure, Neal Amstrong is Mega, Apollo 11 is Gemini film Circiut and JFK will be none other than the producers Akkieneni .Ravi Shankar Prasad and Parvatheni.Kiran.We will feel proud to stand behind these great men as part of their team © Copyright by Telugucinema.com |
