Director Bharat Krishnamachari has shared a gripping account of the challenges faced during the filming of his upcoming movie, 'Swayambhu'. The film's live-action sequences were shot in the remote forests of Maredumilli, near Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, where the crew encountered unexpected rains, leaving part of them stranded without basic supplies for one to two days. This area is known for its pristine beauty and was also the filming location for the popular film 'Pushpa'. Krishnamachari emphasized that they aimed for untouched locations, requiring a 2 to 2.5-hour jeep journey to reach the filming sites. The director also discussed the film's ambitious scale, which includes building three distinct worlds, with significant sets constructed in Janwada, Hyderabad, and Annapurna Studios. The climax features elaborate indoor sets, including two massive bridges, with one designed specifically to be destroyed during filming. 'Swayambhu' is set for a worldwide release in Summer 2026.
