Sources say that the song has been choreographed by Bollywood dance choreographer Ganesh Acharya. "The song will have 1000 dancers moving in unison alongside Virat Karrna and will be a combination of ancient aesthetics, modern filmmaking, and explosive dance energy," sources said.

Apart from the song, the makers are also canning a crucial sequence on the massive set that resembles the Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple. Crafted by production designer Ashok Kumar, the set, sources say, has been erected with attention to detail. In fact, the set looks so real that it has left both the crew and visiting media awestruck, with many calling it a near-perfect recreation of the original temple in Kerala.

With a whopping 10 crore budget dedicated to this single sequence, the producers are leaving no stone unturned to deliver a film whose grandeur is on par with pan-Indian epics.

The movie features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Nabha Natesh and Iswarya Menon as female leads, and Jagapathi Babu, Jayaprakash, Murali Sharma, and B.S. Avinash in supporting roles.

The movie explores the hidden secrets of India's ancient Vishnu temples, specifically focusing on the sacred practice of Nagabandham. Inspired by recent treasure discoveries at temples like Padmanabhaswamy and Puri Jagannath, the story dives into the captivating mythology surrounding these divine locations and the enigmatic rituals designed to safeguard them. The film brings these age-old mysteries to life with a fresh, modern narrative.

Cinematography for the film is by Soundar Rajan S, while Abhe provides the music. The film's dialogues have been written by Kalyan Chakravarthy, with Santosh Kamireddy handling the editing. Ashok Kumar contributes as the art director.

Nagabandham will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. 'Nagabandham', which is fast taking shape as an epic adventure, has the tagline "The Secret Treasure."

Abhishek Nama has penned both the story and screenplay of this film, which has been produced by Kishore Annapureddy under NIK Studios. Lakshmi Aira and Devansh Nama are proudly presenting it.

Wow! 1000 dancers in a single song? That's going to be a visual spectacle! 🔥 Ganesh Acharya's choreography combined with temple aesthetics sounds like a perfect blend. Can't wait to see how they've recreated the Padmanabhaswamy Temple set. Hope the story does justice to our rich temple heritage!

Spending 10 crores on one sequence seems excessive when our country has real temples in need of preservation. While I appreciate the grandeur, I hope they've consulted proper historians to portray our sacred rituals accurately. Temple treasures shouldn't be sensationalized for entertainment.

The concept sounds intriguing but I'm worried about cultural appropriation. Temple rituals are sacred, not just plot devices. The makers better have done their research properly. That said, the production values seem top-notch - the temple set photos I've seen look breathtaking!

Ganesh Acharya + 1000 dancers = Blockbuster song loading! 🎶 Hope they release the making video - coordinating so many dancers must've been a mammoth task. The film's multilingual approach is smart. Hope it does for temple mysteries what Baahubali did for historical fiction!

As someone from Kerala, I'm both excited and nervous about this. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple is extremely sacred to us. While I appreciate the effort in recreating it, I hope they've treated the subject with the respect it deserves. The 'Nagabandham' ritual is not just a plot point but part of living traditions.
