Even though many Indian movies now use special computer effects (VFX and CGI) to create fake backgrounds, some filmmakers still build real big sets.

They do this to make the movie look more real and to save time and money on traveling to different places. One movie is making a giant city-sized set that looks like Varanasi, a famous city in India. It cost 50 crore rupees to build, which is more than any other set in Indian film history.

A movie maker in India has built a huge fake city and temples for his next movie, which cost 50 crore rupees. This is the most expensive set ever made for an Indian film. The movie, directed by SS Rajamouli, stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

It’s a fantasy adventure story, and part of it takes place in Varanasi. To do this, the filmmakers built a whole fake city of Varanasi, with temples and steps called ghats, inside a large studio in Hyderabad. This was done because filming in the real Varanasi would be very difficult.

The images of the set show how big and detailed it is, with temples and ghats visible in the background. The cost of making this set is 50 crore rupees, which is the most expensive ever for a single set in Indian movies. Other movies have also made very expensive sets.

For example, a Telugu movie called The RajaSaab built an enormous indoor set covering 38,000 square feet, which took six months to build. Some older movies, like Devdas, Bajirao Mastani, and others, spent between 15 to 20 crore rupees on their biggest sets. A filmmaker named Anurag Kashyap also spent a lot of money to recreate 1960s Bombay (now Mumbai) in Sri Lanka for his movie Bombay Velvet.
